Adrenal myelolipomas are rare benign tumors of the adrenal cortex composed of adipose and hematopoietic cells. They have been postulated to arise from repeated stimulation by stress, inflammation and ACTH oversecretion. Myelolipomas are usually detected incidentally on imaging and do not require any active intervention besides regular follow-up by imaging. However, myelolipomas may insidiously grow to large sizes and cause mass effects and hemorrhage. Timely diagnosis and surgical resection are curative and lifesaving.
肾上腺髓质脂肪瘤是肾上腺皮质罕见的良性肿瘤，由脂肪细胞和造血细胞组成。据推测，它们是由压力、炎症和促肾上腺皮质激素分泌过多的反复刺激引起的。髓质脂肪瘤通常在影像学检查时偶然发现，除了定期进行影像学随访外，不需要任何积极干预。然而，髓质脂肪瘤可能会不知不觉地生长到很大尺寸，并引起占位效应和出血。及时诊断和手术切除可治愈疾病并挽救生命。
