Abstract

We report a case of symptomatic myelolipoma with a good evolution at three and a half years' follow up. The clinical features and the diagnosis of this tumor type are discussed. In this case, as in most cases, CT proved to be the most useful in making the diagnosis. Like most of the cases, the patient was middle aged, obese and hypertensive. The etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features and diagnosis of this disease entity are reviewed. The treatment modalities utilized according to the specific features of each case are discussed.
