Popis: Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare benign tumour of the adrenal gland composed of mature adipose tissue and haematopoietic elements that resemble bone marrow. Largely discovered incidentally on imaging of abdomen was done for non adrenal related reasons or during autopsy. Usually asymptomatic, it has been reported to present with symptoms such as flank pain resulting from tumour bulk, necrosis or spontaneous retroperitoneal haemorrhage. Adrenal myelolipoma is usually unilateral and asymptomatic, though known to be associated with obesity, hypertension, endocrinological disorders and some malignancies. We are reporting a case of a patient who presented with abdominal mass with radiological findings revealing a right suprarenal mass measuring 8.5×5×4 cm. Histopathological findings confirmed an adrenal myelolipoma.
