Abstract Background Adrenal rest tumor is an ectopic collection of adrenocortical cells in an extra-adrenal site, more frequently located around the kidney, retroperitoneum, spermatic cord, para-testicular region and broad ligament, but very rarely occurring also in the liver. Hepatic adrenal rest tumor poses a diagnostic challenge in differentiating it from hepatocellular carcinoma, particularly in a cirrhotic liver. Case presentation An 83-years-old male was referred to our hospital by his family doctor for hepatological evaluation due to multifactorial liver cirrhosis. Ultrasound revealed a centimetric hypoechoic nodule in the VI hepatic segment in the context of a liver with signs of cirrhosis and steatosis. The patient first underwent MRI and then CT, which showed a fat containing focal liver lesion in the subcapsular location of the right lobe, strictly adjacent to the homolateral adrenal gland. The nodule was hypervascular in the arterial phase, washed out in the portal-venous and transitional phases, resulting hypointense in the hepato-biliary phase at MR imaging. In the suspicion of a hepatocellular carcinoma, the nodule was surgically removed, and the patient’s postoperative course was unremarkable. The final histopathological diagnosis was of adrenal rest tumor of the liver. Conclusions Hepatic adrenal rest tumor is an extremely rare hepatic tumor, often without any clinical manifestation, that can also occur in the cirrhotic liver as in our case. Although there are not specific imaging findings, the possible diagnosis of HART should be considered when we observe a well-defined lesion in the subcapsular location of the right lobe, with fat containing, hypervascularity after contrast medium injection and vascular supply from the right hepatic artery.

Introduction: A female adnexal tumor of probable Wolffian origin (FATWO) is a rare type of gynecological tumor that is difficult to diagnose based on laboratory and radiologic studies. Although FATWO is considered a benign tumor, recurrence and metastasis have been reported. Currently, there is no best surgical and surveillance approach for FATWO. We presented two Wolffian tumors as paratubal / broad ligament masses. Case Presentation: This is a report of a 32-year-old woman with vaginal discharge and incidentally pelvic mass diagnosis who underwent conservative surgery with a frozen section based on the Wolffian duct tumor. Immunohistochemically, the results confirmed FATWO. The patient was free of recurrence 20 months after conservative surgery. Conclusions: Although FATWO has benign behavior, some types of this tumor have malignant features, and there is no clear recommendation regarding optimal treatment and surveillance of FATWO. Therefore, based on the literature, pathologists are recommended to utilize a wide array of immunohistochemical stainings to offer appropriate diagnosis and optimal surgery to patients. Moreover, patients should be followed up for a long-term period until we have enough knowledge in the field.
