title: Fine needle aspiration of adrenal myelolipoma: a case report.
abstract: A case of an adrenal myelolipoma in a 50-year-old woman with endometrial carcinoma is described. The diagnosis was established by computed tomography-guided fine needle aspiration, which is particularly useful for the pre-operative evaluation of adrenal tumours in asymptomatic, high-risk or cancer patients. The criteria used to distinguish extra-adrenal myelolipomas from mass-forming extramedullary haematopoiesis are discussed.
