Myelolipomas are benign tumors usually found within the adrenal gland. Approximately 50 cases of extra-adrenal myelolipomas have been reported in the literature and all are associated with additional lesions. Myelolipomas contain hematopoetic cells and adipose tissue. Most commonly, they are asymptomatic and are found incidentally on radiologic imaging. Here we report a case of an isolated intrasplenic myelolipoma as an incidental finding during the work up for myasthenia gravis in an otherwise asymptomatic man. The spleen and associated mass were excised during laparotomy and the patient had an uneventful recovery.
髓脂肪瘤是一种通常在肾上腺内发现的良性肿瘤。文献中已报道了约50例肾上腺外髓脂肪瘤病例，所有这些病例都伴有其他病变。髓脂肪瘤含有造血细胞和脂肪组织。它们最常见的情况是无症状，在影像学检查中偶然发现。在此，我们报告一例孤立的脾内髓脂肪瘤病例，该病例是在一名无症状男性重症肌无力检查过程中偶然发现的。在剖腹手术期间切除了脾脏及相关肿块，患者恢复顺利。
