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...

The objective of this study was to describe a case of giant myelolipoma associated with undiagnosed congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase (21OH) deficiency. Five seven year-old male patient referred with abdominal ultrasound revealing a left adrenal mass. Biochemical investigation revealed hyperandrogenism and imaging exams characterized a large heterogeneous left adrenal m...

Adrenal myelolipoma is an uncommon, non-functioning tumor composed of variable amounts of mature adipose tissue and scattered islands of hematopoietic elements, including erythroid, myeloid, lymphoid series, and megakaryocytes. 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...

A fifty-two years old male presenting with a history of abdominal pain of six months duration was found on investigation to have a large non-functioning adrenal mass. Adrenal myelolipoma was diagnosed preoperatively and surgical resection was carried out. Only a small number of cases of giant adrenal myelolipoma (>3500 grams) have been reported. A brief review of literature is done.

BACKGROUND Myelolipoma is a rare neoplasm composed of yellowish adipose tissue and reddish-brown tissue corresponding to hematopoietic or hemorrhages. It typically occurs in adrenal glands as a solitary, well-circumscribed mass, and the thoracic location is extremely unusual. CASE PRESENTATION We present a rare case who is a 54 years old male with bilateral Myelolipoma of the posterior medias...

Myelolipoma of the adrenal gland is a rare, benign and biochemically inactive tumor comprising mature fat and hematopoietic elements. Most of these lesions are discovered incidentally. The vast majority occurs within the adrenal glands, but extra-adrenal myelolipomas have also been reported. The typical extra-adrenal myelolipoma is a solitary, well-defined mass with in abdomen. We present a 70 ...

Epidural spinal myelolipoma was diagnosed in an 11.5-year-old castrated male Husky-cross that was evaluated at the veterinary teaching hospital due to progressive thoracolumbar spinal hyperaesthesia and mild proprioceptive pelvic limb ataxia. A focal, ill-defined mildly inhomogenous extradural mass lesion was detected by MRI. The dog was euthanized. At necropsy an extradurally located reddish m...

INTRODUCTION A rare case of adrenal myelolipoma presenting with spontaneous rupture and retroperitoneal haemorrhage is described. CLINICAL PICTURE A 51-year-old Caucasian male presented with acute onset of right loin pain. Preliminary diagnosis of haemorrhagic adrenal tumour was made on computed tomography (CT) and angiography. TREATMENT Vascular embolisation was performed to stabilise the ...
