Adrenal myelolipomas are rare adrenal tumors generally diagnosed incidentally. A 42-year-old female reported to us with complaints of left flank pain attributable to her left ureteric calculi. On evaluation, a large adrenal mass was diagnosed along with hypercortisolism. After adrenalectomy, the histopathology revealed adrenal myelolipoma along with osseous metaplasia not reported in English li...

congenital adrenal hyperplasia comprises a group of disorders resulting from defects in enzymes required for the synthesis of cortisol. the clinical presentation depends on the specific enzyme defect. we report a rare case of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency. a 26-year-old female patient referred with hypertension and hypokalemia. she also had primary amenor...

INTRODUCTION Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare, benign neoplasm that is usually asymptomatic, unilateral and nonsecreting. It develops within the adrenal gland and is composed of mature adipose tissue with elements of the hematopoietic series. We describe the case of what is, to the best of our knowledge, one of the largest secreting adrenal myelolipomas reported in the literature. CASE PRESENTAT...

Adrenal myelolipomas are rare and uncommon benign tumours of the adrenal gland. They contain mature adipose tissue and a variable amount of haemopoietic tissue. Most lesions are small, asymptomatic and discovered incidentally. However larger lesions may be symptomatic. Here we describe the radiological and pathological findings in a case of large left adrenal myelolipoma.

INTRODUCTION Adrenal myelolipomas are benign lesions that contain hematopoietic and fatty elements. They are usually hormonally inactive and asymptomatic until they reach large sizes. With the routine use of cross-sectional imaging, these lesions are now being discovered with increasing frequency. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a comprehensive review of the literature using the PubMed dat...
