Ectopic adrenal cortical tissue is not an infrequent incidental finding during abdominal and inguinal operations in infants; however, it is a rare finding in adults with only a few case reports described in the literature. We report a case of adrenal heterotopia as an incidental finding in a hernia sac from a 56 year-old man. We review the literature and discuss the importance of recognizing this rare finding.
