Adrenal myelolipoma- a rare case report

Abstract

Adrenal myelolipoma (AML) is
a rare benign tumour composed of mature
adipose tissue and hematopoietic
tissue. Very few cases have been reported.
Most of these patients are asymptomatic.
Adrenal myelolipoma is a
rare entity, not encountered frequently
and can occur as an incidental finding.
Awareness regarding this entity is very
much essential to exclude surgical exploration
or extensive surgery. They are
hormonally inactive though they may
sometimes coexist with primary aldosteronism,
congenital adrenal hyperplasia
(CAH), pheochromocytoma, adenoma
and Cushings syndrome
