Management of an incidentally found large adrenal myelolipoma: a case report

Cases J. 2009 Sep 3:2:8414. doi: 10.4076/1757-1626-2-8414.

Abstract

Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare benign neoplasm composed of mature adipose and hematopoietic tissue. Most lesions are small, unilateral and asymptomatic, discovered incidentally at autopsy or on imaging studies performed for other reasons. We would like to present a case report of this rare tumour. Cross-sectional imaging is helpful in making a pre-operative diagnosis. The size of the lesion should be a criterion for surgical intervention.
