Résumé
Ectopic adrenal gland is an atypical medical condition with a prevalence of less than 1%. It occurs due to an abnormal gland development during embryonic life and can be found in different parts of the body. Rarely, these ectopic glands can be hormonally active and present as bulky masses. Herein we report a case of a patient who underwent laparoscopic surgery for a large myelolipoma associated with an androgen producing adenoma in an ectopic adrenal gland.
