Abstract
Adrenal-renal fusion with adrenal cortical adenoma is a rare anomaly with only a few cases described in the literature. Imaging-based identification of this anomaly remains a diagnostic challenge, making it difficult to differentiate upper pole renal malignancy from adrenal cortical adenoma. 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.
