Myelolipoma of the adrenal gland is an unusual, benign tumour which is composed of mature adipose tissue and hematopoietic elements, similar to those of bone marrow. The tumour is hormonally inactive and unilateral although four cases in which the tumour has been found bilaterally have been reported. Extra adrenal myelolipoma has also been reported in the kidney, the liver and the presacral area. We present the case of an asymptomatic adrenal myelolipoma in a 68-year-old man, which was surgically removed.

Myelolipoma is a combined lesion involving mature adipose tissue and bone marrow elements. Adrenal gland is the commonest site of myelolipoma. Usually these lesions are asymptomatic, unilateral and small in size. Occasionally myelolipomas become enormous and symptomatic depending on the location. Here we describe a case of bilateral giant adrenal myelolipoma presenting with abdominal pain. The case was managed surgically without any post-operative complications.

Single Process

This paper describes a case of adrenal myelolipoma with an unusual characteristic: the presence of bone spicules. The lesion was associated with an accessory adrenal gland containing foci of myeloadiposis. The authors believe that myelolipoma and myeloadiposis are closely associated and are in fact the expression of a single process that is both focal (myeloadiposis) and diffuse (myelolipoma). The process consists of the differentiation of choristomatous primitive mesenchymal cells into hematopoietic tissue, adipose tissue and, in rare cases, bone tissue.

AbstractLipoma is a benign tumour originating from mature adipose tissue. It can occur in any place in the body where adipose tissue is located. Intraosseous lipoma is a very rare bone tumour. The authors present an infrequent case involving intraosseous lipoma of the mandible in a 32-year old man and provide a review of case studies documented earlier in the literature.

Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare, benign, usually unilateral, endocrinologically inactive tumor composed of mainly mature adipose tissue and hematopoietic elements that resemble bone marrow. It almost always occurs within adrenal gland but they have been reported in other locations. Most patients are asymptomatic and the lesion is discovered incidentally. We report a case of 35 years old lady who had just come for regular check up with vague abdominal discomfort on right side. Radiological investigations showed a large right sided adrenal myelolipoma. Image guided fine needle aspiration cytology was done, which confirmed the diagnosis.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jmmihs.v1i4.12002Journal of Manmohan Memorial Institute of Health Sciences Vol. 1, Issue 4, 2015Page: 50-51

Myelolipoma is a rare tumor, and a mediastinal location is extremely unusual. The main pathologic feature is the coexistence of mature adipose tissue and bone marrow cells; the presence of megakaryocytes is essential for diagnosis. The successful removal of a mediastinal myelolipoma in a 59-year-old man is described.
