“…Development of adrenal cortical neoplasia has, on occasions, been reported in presumed or identified ectopic sites (MacMillan & Gilbert 1940, Zhukovsky, Kertsman & Zairatyants 1969, Leger et al 1975) and there is one well documented report of an adrenal cortical functional tumour arising in the liver of a 3-year-old male (Wilkins & Ravitch 1952).…”

“…Finally, it might also be relevant to know of the existence of these extopic foci and their range of locations and structural components, because they can give rise to different symptoms or syndromes or might eventually be the site of origin of benign or malignant tumours.

A small nodule of tissue, found deep within the liver parenchyma of a 3-day-old neonate, proved to be composed of adrenal cortical tissue of both fetal and adult types. Whilst ectopic adrenal tissue is widely recognized in many sites in the body, an intrahepatic localization does not previously appear to have been recorded. The possible mechanisms involved in the ectopia are discussed as is the potential relevance to neoplastic change.
