histologic and immunohistochemical findings in the left ovary; (A) a hematoxylin-eosin stained image of an ectopic adrenal tissue in the left ovary; microscopic examination shows pale cells with spongy-appearing cytoplasm and polygonal cells with acidophilic granular cytoplasm, which is reminiscent of zona fasciculata and zona reticularis of the adrenal cortex ((A) x20, (B) x100); (C, D) immunohistochemical stains are positive for inhibin-A ((C) x200) and Melan-A ((D) x200)

The tissue consisted of pale cells with spongy-appearing cytoplasm and polygonal cells with acidophilic granular cytoplasm, which is reminiscent of zona fasciculata and zona reticularis of the adrenal cortex (Figure 1A, Figure 1B). The ectopic tissue was reactive for inhibin-A and Melan-A, which favored the diagnosis of ectopic adrenal tissue (Figure 1C, Figure 1D).
