Giant adrenal myelolipoma presenting with spontaneous hemorrhage. CT, MR and pathology correlation.
We report a case of a 56-year old symptomatic patient found to have a giant adrenal myelolipoma with hemorrhage. The characteristic CT and MR features and their aid in the diagnosis are demonstrated. We propose a definition of the often quoted term "giant" adrenal myelolipoma.
