Giant symptomatic adrenal myelolipoma: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Adrenal myelolipomas are rare non-functioning benign tumors composed of adipose and hematopoietic tissues. Most AMLs are discovered incidentally and represent the second most common adrenal incidentaloma.

Case presentation

A 58-years-old female patient, obese with a history of diabetes and blood hypertension presented with complaints of pain in the left flank. Abdominopelvic computed tomography showed a giant well-defined mass of the left adrenal gland with fat density suggesting adrenal myelolipoma. The patient underwent open left adrenalectomy. The pathological study confirmed the diagnosis of adrenal myelolipoma.

Discussion

Most AMLs are asymptomatic, remain stable in size, or grow slowly. Mass effect symptoms and spontaneous rupture are observed more
