title: [Adrenal gland myelolipoma: radiological view].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a case of adrenal myelolipoma in a female patient with a history of arterial hypertension and increased plasma aldosterone levels.
  
  
  METHODS
  Evaluation by CT and ultrasound, and anatomopathological analysis were performed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The CT and ultrasound scans showed a fat-containing adrenal mass. The patient underwent surgery. Histological analysis of the surgical specimen demonstrated a myelolipoma, a benign tumor composed in varying proportions of adipose and hematopoietic tissue.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A diagnosis of adrenal myelolipoma must be considered when a fat-containing adrenal mass is demonstrated by ultrasound, CT or MRI.
