Incidentally detected giant adrenal myelolipoma: A case report

The myelolipoma of adrenal glands is a benign and rare neoplastic condition having components of mature adipocytes and hematopoietic tissue. Myelolipoma of the adrenal gland is mainly located retroperitoneally with an incidence of adrenal myelolipoma is 0.08–0.2% of all primary tumors of the adrenal glands Most of the adrenal myelolipomas are detected incidentally. Surgical excision is the main treatment for symptomatic cases and myelolipomas larger than 6 cm. We are presenting a case report of a giant adrenal tumor (myelolipoma) measuring 23 cm in greatest dimension and weighing 2.5 kg.

Abstract

The myelolipoma of adrenal glands is a benign and rare neoplastic condition having components of mature adipocytes and hematopoietic tissue. Myelolipoma of the adrenal gland is mainly located retroperitoneally with an incidence of adrenal myelolipoma is 0.08–0.2% of all primary tumors of the adrenal glands Most of the adrenal myelolipomas are detected incidentally. Surgical excision is the main treatment for symptomatic cases and myelolipomas larger than 6 cm. We are presenting a case report of a giant adrenal tumor (myelolipoma) measuring 23 cm in greatest dimension and weighing 2.5 kg.
