Laparoscopic Management of Presacral Myelolipoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Myelolipomas are rare, benign nonfunctioning tumors, most commonly found in the adrenal glands. At least 43 cases of extra adrenal myelolipomas have been reported, with at least 50% of these reported cases occurring in the presacral region. Herein we report a case of presacral myelolipoma managed laparoscopically.

Incidental Presacral Myelolipoma Resembling the Liposarcoma: A Case Report and Literature Review
Presacral myelolipomas are rare, benign, asymptomatic tumors composed of mature adipose tissue and hematopoietic elements, but fewer than 50 cases have been reported in the literature. They are usually discovered incidentally during imaging studies and are often misdiagnosed as liposarcoma, which have a malignant nature, because the imaging findings of myelolipoma can be similar to those of lip...
متن کاملPresacral myelolipoma: a case report and review of imaging findings.
Extra-adrenal myelolipoma is a relatively rare entity, with fewer than 50 cases reported in literature. We present a case of a 79 year-old female who presented for evaluation of hip fracture following trauma, where a lobulated presacral mass with mixed fat/soft tissue attenuation was incidentally seen on initial bone algorithm pelvic CT. Subsequent MRI showed signal characteristics of a lesion ...

Background Presacral tumors are most frequently benign, occasionally malignant with a slow growth. Their incidence is 1:40000 and they are asymptomatic in the 26–50% of cases. When visible symptoms occur, these are related to the dimensions of the tumor, to its location and to the presence of infection. We believe all presacral tumors should undergo a surgical resection, even if the patient is ...

The authors present a case of a presacral myelolipoma diagnosed in an 84-year-old male patient with longstanding pelvic pain and past medical history of bladder cancer. Pelvic computed tomography (CT) revealed a well-encapsulated and lobulated presacral mass, with mixed fat and soft-tissue attenuation. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging provided further confirmation of macroscopic intralesional fa...
متن کاملLaparoscopic adrenalectomy for adrenal myelolipoma.
OBJECTIVE [corrected] To evaluate the results of laparoscopic adrenalectomy for adrenal myelolipoma in a single center. METHODS Between November 1999 and February 2006, 226 laparoscopic adrenalectomies were performed at our institution. 19 specimens corresponded with adrenal myelolipomas (8%). Mean patient age was 53.8 years (range 35 to 75) with male-to-female ratio 2:1. Clinical data was pr...
