Abstrakt: Adrenal myelolipomas, typically benign and nonfunctional, are uncommon tumors found incidentally in the adrenal gland, unlike the more prevalent renal cell carcinoma in the kidney. The occurrence of synchronous renal cell carcinoma with adrenal myelolipomas is exceptionally rare, with only a few sporadic case reports documented in the literature spanning over six decades. Here, we present a case of a 67-year-old obese male who complained of colicky left upper abdominal pain, accompanied by a significant medical history of type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Ultrasonography revealed a large space-occupying lesion in the middle pole of the left kidney. Subsequently, left radical nephrectomy and adrenalectomy were performed, and the specimens were sent for histopathological examination, confirming the diagnosis of adrenal myelolipoma with synchronous renal cell carcinoma.
