title: Adrenal myelolipoma: case report with a review of the literature.
abstract: A 40 year old woman who was pre-operatively diagnosed as possibly having adrenal myelolipoma is reported. Adrenal myelolipomas are rare, non-functional benign tumours comprising varying amounts of fat and haematopoietic elements. Albeit possibly coincidental, there is a frequent association with obesity, hypertension, and/or diabetes mellitus. A growing number of patients are being diagnosed during ultrasonographic or computerized tomographic scanning for unrelated problems.
