Adrenal Myelolipoma: A Case Report
Authors
Abstract:
Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare benign tumor that is composed of hematopoietic cells and mature fat. Mostly, these nonfunctioning tumors are distinguished incidentally during autopsy or radiologic investigations. Here, we report a case of 46-year-old man presented with nonspecific abdominal pain for one year, who had right adrenal mass with fat density detected by radiologic investigation. Histopathological assessment of right adrenalectomy specimen revealed the diagnosis of adrenal myelolipoma.

INTRODUCTION Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare, benign neoplasm that is usually asymptomatic, unilateral and nonsecreting. It develops within the adrenal gland and is composed of mature adipose tissue with elements of the hematopoietic series. We describe the case of what is, to the best of our knowledge, one of the largest secreting adrenal myelolipomas reported in the literature. CASE PRESENTAT...

Adrenal myelolipoma is an unusual, benign and biochemically inactive tumour that is composed of variable mixture of mature adipose tissue and haematopoietic elements. It is usually asymptomatic, unilateral and nonsecreting, though known to be associated with hypertension, obesity, endocrinological disorders and some malignancies. We report a case of adrenal myelolipoma in a 64 year old male, wh...

full textCase Report: An incidentaloma that catches your eye - adrenal myelolipoma
Background: Adrenal incidentaloma refers to the incidental finding of a tumor in the adrenal gland, where nonfunctional forms are the most common variant. Myelolipoma is a rare (0.08-0.4%) occurrence characterized by adipose and hematopoietic tissue. The aim of this case report is to describe the diagnosis and appropriate management of a myelolipoma in an asymptomatic patient, which was origina...
full textSimultaneous adrenal and extra-adrenal myelolipoma – an uncommon incident: case report and review of the literature
BACKGROUND Extra-adrenal myelolipomas are rare benign tumours. Other soft tissue tumours such as well-differentiated liposarcomas appear morphological almost identical. Preoperative imaging and especially biopsy are important tools to diagnose these lesions. CASE PRESENTATION We report a very seldom case of a simultaneous myelolipoma of the adrenal gland in association with an extra-adrenal m...
