Abstract:
The present study was carried out on 12 pairs of adrenal glands from recently slaughtered pigs of both genders of 6-12 months age group. The accessory cortical nodules are present on the adrenal gland capsule. Microscopically, these accessory nodules in the capsule were similar to adrenal cortex surrounded by the connective tissue fibres containing the zona glomerulosa cells in the centre. The shape of the cells were cuboidal. Medullary portion and other regions of cortex; zona fasciculata and reticularis were absent in these nodules.
