Abstract

Ectopic corticoadrenal tissue is not a very uncommon finding during orchiopexy in children. The causes can be found in the period of organ development and gonadal migration (spermatic cord). From 1986 to 1990, we have performed 88 orchiopexy procedures in the Urology Service of "San Antonio Abad de Gallarate" Hospital. Only one case (1.13%) of juxta-funicular corticoadrenal ectopia has been observed. The aim of the present study is to determine the correct surgical approach to this incidental finding during surgery of the inguinal canal in pediatric patients.
