Myelolipomas of Both Adrenal Glands
Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare, nonfunctional benign tumor that is composed of mature adipose tissue and hematopoietic elements. In the past, these tumors were accidentally discovered at autopsy. Today, they are found much more frequently and incidentally, mainly because of the widespread use of noninvasive imaging with ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Most l...
متن کاملAdrenal and extra-adrenal myelolipomas - a comparative case report.
Myelolipoma is an uncommon benign tumour composed of mature fat tissue and haematopoietic elements and is most commonly found in the adrenal gland. 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...
متن کاملClinicopathological Characteristics of Four Cases of Adrenal Myelolipomas: A Rare Surgical Entity
Myelolipomas are unusual benign tumors or tumor-like lesions, composed of hematopoietic cells and mature adipose tissue. They usually are asymptomatic and behave as non-functioning, unilateral, small adrenal tumors often found incidentally on imaging studies. We report the clinicopathological characteristics of four cases of adrenal myelolipomas treated in our hospital, worth to mention because...
متن کاملBilateral Giant Adrenal Myelolipomas: a case report and literature review
Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare benign adrenal neoplasm presenting in 0.08%-0.4% of population based on autopsy series. It is of adrenal origin composed of mature adipose tissue and a variable amount of hematopoietic elements (myeloid and erythroid cells). Most patients are asymptomatic, and the lesion is discovered incidentally at autopsy or on imaging studies performed for other reasons. Most t...
متن کاملAssociating rare genetic variants with human diseases
Citation: Zhang Q (2015) Associating rare genetic variants with human diseases. Genome researches have revealed that a large portion (over 50%) of genetic variants on human chromosomes are rare variants (RVs) with extremely low allele frequency (usually defined as less than 1%) in populations. In recent years, advances of DNA genotyping and sequencing technologies have been facilitating the dis...
