Extra-adrenal myelolipoma is an uncommon entity. But myelolipoma located in the bone is extremely rare. We report a case of myelolipoma occurring in an unusual site: the Costa. It was demonstrated by Computed tomography (CT) scan that an expansive bony mass with heterogeneous low density contents adhered to the 6(th) ribs. The mass was successful resected and which was yielded to a bony lump through grossly inspection. Histological, the mass was confirmed as an intraosseous myelolipoma, with mature adipocytes mixed with hemopoietic cells. To the authors' knowledge, it is the first reported that myelolipoma located in the rib in human beings.
肾上腺外髓脂肪瘤是一种罕见的疾病。但位于骨骼中的髓脂肪瘤极为罕见。我们报告一例发生在不寻常部位——肋骨的髓脂肪瘤病例。计算机断层扫描(CT)显示,一个密度不均的低密度膨胀性骨质肿物附着于第6肋骨。该肿物成功切除,大体检查为骨性肿块。组织学检查证实该肿物为骨内髓脂肪瘤,由成熟脂肪细胞和造血细胞混合组成。据作者所知,这是人类首例报告的位于肋骨的髓脂肪瘤。
