Adrenal-Renal Fusion with Adrenal Cortical Adenoma and Ectopic Adrenal Tissue, Presenting as Suspected Renal Mass: A Case Report

We describe a case of a 62-year-old woman with an upper pole cystic renal mass on imaging, who underwent robotic partial nephrectomy. Intraoperatively the renal mass was found to be an adrenal-renal fusion anomaly, with ectopic adrenal tissue. Adrenal-renal infusion of an adrenal cortical adenoma was confirmed on final pathology. Due to lack of imaging-based diagnosis, this condition should be considered in the differential for upper pole renal masses.Curr Urol 2020;14:163-165
