Adrenal Myelolipoma: A Rare Case of the Incidentaloma: About one Case

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare, benign, non-functioning tumor of the adrenal gland. Which is why it is often asymptomatic, but it may be complicated by pain or retroperitoneal hemorrhage. Medical imaging is key to the diagnosis by highlighting its fatty component, non present in other adrenal incidentalomas. Surgery is indicated when there is a large or Complicated Myelolipoma. We report the case of a large symptomatic adrenal myelolipoma discovered in a 50 year old woman.
Case report: We describe a case of an 8cm non-functional, and heterogenous right adrenal myelolipoma discovered on a routine computed tomography (CT) scan evaluation for cervical cancer in a 50 years old woman.
