“…In 50% of post-mortems on neonates and children accessory adrenal tissue can be found (Jaffe, 1927) but by adult life most of this tissue atrophies so that in only 1 % can such tissue be found with ease (Mitchell and Angrist, 1943). Graham (1953), however, found adrenal tissue in the region of the coeliac axis in 32 of 100 consecutive adult cadavers and in 16 of these medullary tissue was also present.…”

“…Another clinical aspect is the development of a tumor from the ectopic adrenal remains. Pheochromocytoma, Leydig cell tumors, and adrenal adenomas have been reported to develop from these ectopic tissues, although they are not common (6,(17)(18)(19).…”

“…After ectopic adrenal tissue was first identified by Morgagni in the 1700s, several nodules of ectopic adrenal tissue were reported in many sites of the body, such as the kidney, coeliac axis, thorax, liver, lungs, and brain, and in association with the genitalia (1,(5)(6)(7).…”

“…This has been partly explained by the low occurrence rate of medullary tissue in ectopic adrenal glands, which was estimated to be 16% in autopsy studies. (2) An accessory adrenal gland phaeochromocytoma is extremely rare in a MEN-2A case, with only three such case reports in literature. (4,5) Accessory adrenal glands can be the cellular basis for phaeochromocytoma, and it is therefore important to emphasise continual follow-up for phaeochromocytoma in subjects with MEN-2A, even after bilateral adrenalectomy.…”
