The scientists say the glands cannot be seen with conventional methods of medical imaging like ultrasound, CT scans or MRIs.
It was only identified when the doctors were using an advanced and new type of scan.
Researchers found the glands during scans designed to look for tumorous growths.
Because the study concentrated on a small number of patients, they plan to examine more people to collect data.
