Myelolipoma of the adrenal gland diagnosis and management

Saudi Med J. 2001 May;22(5):457-9.

Abstract

Myelolipoma of the adrenal gland is a rare benign tumor. It is diagnosed incidentally in most cases because of its non-functioning nature, unless it causes symptoms due to its size. It has specific sonographic and computed tomographic features. A case is presented, magnetic resonance findings are reported for the first time and a review of the literature is conducted.
