Extra-adrenal myelolipoma is an uncommon entity. But myelolipoma located in the bone is extremely rare. We report a case of myelolipoma occurring in an unusual site: the Costa. It was demonstrated by Computed tomography (CT) scan that an expansive bony mass with heterogeneous low density contents adhered to the 6(th) ribs. The mass was successful resected and which was yielded to a bony lump th...

Myelolipomas are rare benign tumors composed of mature fat and bone marrow elements, typically found in the adrenal gland, but have been reported in extra-adrenal locations. Adrenal myelolipoma seldom produces symptoms unless it attains considerable size or hemorrhage into itself. The origin of adrenal myelolipoma remains obscure, various theories have been proposed. Here, we present a case of ...

Adrenal myelolipoma is an extremely rare lesion, which is composed of adipose and hematopoetic tissue. The above-mentioned lesion was first described by Gierke in 1905, with the term myelolipoma used for the first time by Oberling in 1929. The Authors of the study presented a case of a 57 year-old female patient diagnosed with a multifocal adrenal and extra- adrenal myelolipoma.

Adrenal myelolipoma with hyperandrogenemia is extremely rare. We report a case of a 26-year-old Chinese female with schizophrenia, who presented with a hormonally active tumor causing hyperandrogenemia. The mass was found by computerized tomography when she had her gynecologic examination for secondary amenorrhea, and it was confirmed to be an adrenal myelolipoma after a histopathological study...

Adrenal myelolipoma is a benign uncommon tumor of adrenal gland which is mostly diagnosed incidentally. Huge adrenal myelolipoma are very rare. Histopathological examination gives the confirmed diagnosis. Here we present a 76 years old female with huge retroperitoneal mass, diagnosed as adrenal myelolipoma on the basis of histopathological examinations. Surgical management is the treatment of c...

Background Adrenal myelolipoma is an uncommon, benign, and hormonally non-functioning tumor that is composed of mature adipose tissue and normal hematopoietic tissue. Most cases to date are asymptomatic or have epigastric pain. Acute hemorrhage is the most dramatic manifestation of adrenal myelolipoma; though, it is a rare entity. Hemorrhagic shock due to adrenal myelolipoma, to our knowledge, ...

Four cases of symptomatic myelolipoma of the adrenal gland are presented. Three were treated at laparotomy and one with a laparoscopic approach. On the basis of these four cases we discuss the aetiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of this rare disease. We also report the follow-up of a patient with bilateral myelolipoma, who underwent monolateral excision. We...

Myelolipoma is a rare, benign neoplasm composed of mature adipocytes and hematopoietic tissue, mainly occurring in the adrenal glands. The majority of extra-adrenal myelolipomas have been identified in the presacral region and primary mediastinal myelolipoma is very rare. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are effective methods to detect myelolipoma, while fine-needle...

Myelolipoma is one of the rare causes of posterior mediastinal tumor. Surgical excision is effective, which differs from the treatment of extramedullary disease usually concomitant with myelodysplastic syndrome. Cytogenetic analysis suggests the bone marrow cell originating myelolipoma.

BACKGROUND Myelolipoma is an uncommon tumor comprising adipose tissue and normal hematopoietic cells and mainly occurs in the adrenal cortex. Mediastinal myelolipoma is very rare; we report a case of posterior mediastinal myelolipoma that required surgical resection. CASE PRESENTATION A 56-year-old male was diagnosed with a posterior mediastinal tumor by computed tomography. The tumor was ori...
