Background: Adrenal incidentaloma refers to the incidental finding of a tumor in the adrenal gland, where nonfunctional forms are the most common variant. Myelolipoma is a rare (0.08-0.4%) occurrence characterized by adipose and hematopoietic tissue. The aim of this case report is to describe the diagnosis and appropriate management of a myelolipoma in an asymptomatic patient, which was origina...

We describe a myelolipoma of the thoracic spine in a patient with gradual and progressive myelopathy. MR imaging showed this predominately fatty lesion to be extradural in location.

myelolipoma, a rare benign non-functioning neoplasm, is composed of mature adipose tissue and bone marrow elements. its most common location is adrenal gland; however, extra-adrenal cases have been also reported. it is found in only 0.2% of all autopsies; 96% of the reported cases were detected on postmortem examination. the surgical symptomatic cases having been reported so far are few. in thi...

introduction adrenal myelolipoma is a rare benign neoplasm, which contains mature adipose tissue and variable amounts of haematopoietic elements. most lesions are small and asymptomatic, discovered incidentally during autopsy or imaging studies performed for other reasons. case presentation here we reported a series of two cases of giant myelolipomas of the adrenal gland; first one the largest ...

INTRODUCTION Adrenal myelolipomas are relatively rare, non-functioning benign tumours composed of mature fatty and active hematopoietic elements. They can be asymptomatic, even if their size is massive. Diagnosis is relatively simple using ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Surgical resection through an extraperitoneal approach is advocated in cases of symptomatic o...

In 1905, it was initially reported by Gierke and afterword’s Oberling coined the term “myelolipoma” in 1929 [1,2]. According to the available literature, Myelolipomas account for approximately 3 to 5% of all primary adre...

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...
