Adrenal myelolipoma. A case report.
We report a new case in a 56 years old patient who manifested right side's pains. The abdominal CT scan showed a tumor of the right adrenal gland with fat density (size: 8 x 6 x 6 cm). This tumor was removed surgically (weight: 300 g). The histological finding revealed a proliferation of adipocyts and myeloid tissue which contains megakaryocytes, erythroid cells and lymphocyts. The outcome is good after three years of surgery. The surgical treatment becomes necessary when the tumor's size increases or it becomes symptomatic.
