[Adrenal myelolipoma. A case report and review of the literature].
Myelolipoma is a rare benign neoplasm of the adrenal gland, histologically characterized by the presence of mature fat cells and bone marrow elements. In the international literature were reported 126 cases of adrenal myelolipoma surgically treated. The indications to surgical removal of this tumor are the presence of large symptomatic tumours, high risk of spontaneous haemorrhage, and suspicion of malignant neoplasms. The authors present a case of adrenal myelolipoma, preoperatively identified with an abdominal MNR, and surgically removed.
