Ectopic adrenal tissue around the prostate: A rare case
This case represents the ectopic adrenal tissue around the prostate, broadening our understanding of adrenal tissue ectopia. Ectopic adrenal tissue around the prostate is usually discovered by chance. It contains only the cortex and appears to be nonfunctional. Due to its small size and rarity, detecting ectopic adrenal tissue in the prostate through imaging is challenging.
