We report the 14th case of myelolipoma of the adrenal gland. Recommendations for appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic methods are made. Myelolipoma of the adrenal gland is a rare non-functioning tumor composed of lipoid and hematopoietic elements. The most consistent complaint is abdominal pain caused by hemorrhage within the tumor. We identified an association with obesity and hypertension. Ultrasound combined with computed tomography is useful in diagnosis. With expanded use of these studies, myelolipoma will be recognized more frequently. Definitive diagnosis and treatment are accomplished by simple excision; radical surgery is unnecessary.
我们报告了第14例肾上腺髓质脂肪瘤。文中提出了关于适当诊断和治疗方法的建议。肾上腺髓质脂肪瘤是一种罕见的无功能肿瘤，由类脂和造血成分组成。最常见的症状是肿瘤内出血引起的腹痛。我们发现它与肥胖和高血压有关。超声结合计算机断层扫描有助于诊断。随着这些检查的广泛应用，肾上腺髓质脂肪瘤将被更频繁地识别出来。通过简单切除即可完成明确诊断和治疗；无需进行根治性手术。
