To describe an additional case of this rare disease entity, with special reference to its diagnosis and treatment, and to briefly review the literature.
We report on an 82-year-old male with adrenal myelolipoma that had been incidentally discovered during evaluation for another condition. A left adrenalectomy was performed due to the large size of the tumor and in order to determine its benign or malignant nature.
The histopathological findings disclosed an andrenal myelolipoma.
Adrenal myelolipoma is an uncommon tumor type. CT is the most effective diagnostic method. Surgery is advocated in symptomatic cases and in asymptomatic cases with a large tumor mass.
