Heterotopic adrenal tissue in a specimen after unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHeterotopic adrenal tissue is an extremely rare finding. The most common site is the genitourinary tract and pelvis, more frequently in male than female children. In our report, we discuss an ectopic adrenal tissue detected incidentally in a perimenopausal woman, which is even more unusual. CASE PRESENTATION: A 54-year-old Eastern European perimenopausal female patient was referred for surgical treatment due to a suspected 60 mm paratubal cyst. Her medical history was unremarkable and risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm score were normal. Laparoscopic left salpingo-oophorectomy was performed and the specimen was sent for histopathology. The examination revealed a normal ovary, a fallopian tube with a simple paratubal cyst, and a 2.5 mm nest of heterotopic adrenal tissue in the nearby fat tissue. The patient was discharged on the first postoperative day, reported no symptoms, and remained asymptomatic at 3-week follow-up.
conclusionA review of the available English literature confirmed the rarity of heterotopic adrenal tissue in adult women. This case is presented due to its uniqueness, with the aim of raising awareness about the entity we encountered and presenting its possible implications.
