Abstract
Adrenal Myelolipoma is a rare tumor that is benign in nature and unilateral. It is usually asymptomatic with
just a few millimeters in size but they can grow over 30 cms becoming a life threat to the patient. This
tumor is generally considered as a type of hormonally inactive neoplasm which is composed of variable
amounts of mature adipose tissue and normal hematopoeitic elements. These may not account for
extramedullary sites of haemotopoiesis and are not associated with any specific hematologic disorder.
Rarely, Adrenal Myelolipomas occur in association with Adrenocortical Adenoma or Adrenocortical
Carcinoma. We report a case of Adrenocotical Adenoma with Myelolipoma in a 35 year old female who
presented with pain in the right upper abdomen. The radiological appearance resembled adrenocortical
carcinoma. This case emphasize the importance of this combination as a pitfall in the correct diagnosis and
management of patient with Adrenal mass.
