Adrenal myelolipoma associated with hereditary spherocytosis

Int J Urol. 1996 Jan;3(1):61-3. doi: 10.1111/j.1442-2042.1996.tb00632.x.

Abstract

Myelolipomas are benign tumors composed of mature fat and bone marrow elements. We report a case of adrenal myelolipoma associated with hereditary spherocytosis which was treated with splenectomy seventeen years ago. The hematopoietic stimulus of the hereditary spherocytosis might have been associated with the development of adrenal myelolipoma in the present case.
