ABSTRACT Broad ligament adrenal rests are well known. A case of adrenal rest external to the surface of the broad ligament and adjacent to the fallopian tube is reviewed, with specific emphasis on its histogenesis. The rest is associated with a foreign body, and it is suggested that it has arisen as a secondary development of celomic epithelial metaplasia.
