ARAUJO, Luís Fernandes de; CAMPELOS, Sofia y FONSECA-MOUTINHO, José. Adrenal heterotopia in the fallopian tube: A case report. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2022, vol.16, n.2, pp.159-162. Epub 30-Jun-2022. ISSN 1646-5830.
A case of an adrenal heterotopia in the fallopian tube is presented. It’s an uncommon benign pathology found in a 73-year-old patient, accidentally identified in the pathologic specimen of a Wertheim-Meigs hysterectomy performed as treatment of endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the endocervix. When the patient was 47 years old, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy and 3 sessions of chemotherapy. To our knowledge, this is the third case described in English literature reporting an adrenal heterotopia in the fallopian tube, and the first one associated with endometrioid endocervical adenocarcinoma and a history of breast cancer.
