The association of an adrenal myelolipoma with a non-functioning adenoma is very rare. Herein, we report on such a case in an asymptomatic 64-year-old woman. To the best of our knowledge, there is only one other case of non-functioning adrenocortical adenoma associated with myelolipoma in the same gland. Furthermore, only two other adenomas (mineral corticoids and corticosteroid producing tumors) associated with myelolipomas have been reported, and both myelolipomas were less than 1 cm in size. In conclusion, the 8.5 cm myelolipoma in our case is the largest compared with the three previously reported ones.
肾上腺髓质脂肪瘤与无功能腺瘤并存的情况极为罕见。在此,我们报告一例64岁无症状女性的此类病例。据我们所知,同一腺体中仅有另一例无功能肾上腺皮质腺瘤合并髓质脂肪瘤的病例。此外,仅另有两例(产生盐皮质激素和糖皮质激素的肿瘤)与髓质脂肪瘤相关的腺瘤被报道,且这两个髓质脂肪瘤均小于1厘米。总之,与先前报道的三例相比,我们病例中的8.5厘米髓质脂肪瘤是最大的。
