title: Bilateral giant adrenal myelolipoma and polycystic ovarian disease.
abstract: We report a case of a nonfunctioning, synchronous, bilateral, very large adrenal myelolipoma in an obese woman. She had diabetes mellitus and oligomenorrhea due to polycystic ovarian disease, and for that, she was taking progesterone medication for over 12 years. The principal clinical findings, the etiology and pathogenesis, the diagnostic-tools including US-guided fine-needle biopsy to preoperative differential diagnosis, are discussed.
