Combined adrenal adenoma and myelolipoma in a patient with Conn syndrome. Case report.
Adrenal myelolipoma is an uncommon benign tumor usually discovered by chance in patients with hypertension, obesity, arteriosclerosis or cancer. The association with adrenocortical endocrine dysfunctions is rare. We report herein an unusual case, the second in the literature to the best of our knowledge, of combined adrenal adenoma and myelolipoma in a patient with Conn syndrome.
