Adrenal myelolipoma, which is composed of hematopoietic and adipose elements, is a rare benign tumor. Most adrenal myelolipomas are asymptomatic and are found incidentally. We report two cases of adrenal myelolipoma. One was a middle-aged woman with right flank pain. Tumor size increased 8 years later. The other patient was a 63-year-old man presenting with right flank soreness. The right adrenal tumor was found by abdominal sonography. Both of them received adrenalectomy to relieve symptoms and the pathologic results showed adrenal myelolipoma. The clinical, radiologic and pathologic characteristics of these two cases are discussed together with a review of the literature.
肾上腺髓脂肪瘤由造血组织和脂肪成分组成，是一种罕见的良性肿瘤。大多数肾上腺髓脂肪瘤无症状，多为偶然发现。我们报告两例肾上腺髓脂肪瘤。一例是一名中年女性，有右侧胁腹疼痛。8年后肿瘤大小增大。另一例患者是一名63岁男性，表现为右侧胁腹酸痛。通过腹部超声发现右侧肾上腺肿瘤。两人均接受了肾上腺切除术以缓解症状，病理结果显示为肾上腺髓脂肪瘤。结合文献复习，对这两例病例的临床、影像学和病理特征进行了讨论。
