title: [Magnetic resonance tomographic diagnosis of a myelolipoma of the adrenal glands].
abstract: Myelolipoma is an uncommon, benign, adrenal lesion composed of fatty tissue and bone marrow elements. The presence of fat within this tumor is the key factor in identification and noninvasive diagnosis with imaging methods. Since fat has a characteristic behavior reflected by the MR signal intensity, a specific diagnosis can be made by MRI.
