Abstract
A case of adrenocortical tissue within a human placenta is described, this being the second example of such a phenomenon. Immunocytochemistry showed that the adrenal tissue reacted positively for DHEA-S but negatively for 17-OH progesterone and cortisol. This suggests that the heterotopic adrenal tissue resembled metabolically the fetal zone of the adrenal cortex.Entities:
