title: Ectopic localisation of adrenal cortex.
abstract: We present a case of concurrence of ectopic adrenal cortex with a renal cell carcinoma. The diagnosis of the accessory adrenal tissue was made by CT-guided biopsy. With this case report, we draw attention to a specific differential diagnostic problem, policy and to the MR characteristics of ectopic adrenal cortex.
