We report a case, which was discovered incidentally on chest X-ray, of a rare occurrence of multifocal extra-adrenal myelolipoma in the thoracic paravertebral region. This was further investigated with multi-detector computed tomography and magnetic...

Diagnosis of adrenal myelolipomas based on radiologic imaging, such as ultrasonography, CT or MRI is effective in more than 90% of cases. It should be differentiated fro...
متن کاملClinicopathological Characteristics of Four Cases of Adrenal Myelolipomas: A Rare Surgical Entity
