Adrenal Myelolipoma

Adrenal myelolipomas (AMLs) are rare benign adrenal tumors, containing adipose and hematopoietic tissue, a result of reticuloendothelial cell metaplasia. Incidence on autopsy has been reported from 0.08% to 0.4%. AMLs are generally considered nonsecretory. The functional aspect of adrenal incidentaloma should be evaluated. In this article, we report a case of a 40-year-old male, who presented with uncontrolled hypertension and renal failure, with imaging revealing an adrenal incidentaloma. He was started on dialysis for acute fluid overload, and workup for pheochromocytoma revealed an elevated serum norepinephrine level of 1181 pg/mL. Free metanephrine and normetanephrine levels were low when checked pre- and post-dialysis. Complete resection of the encapsulated right adrenal mass was performed. Pathology of the adrenal tumor demonstrates an 11.5 × 9.5 × 7.5 cm well-circumscribed, partially encapsulated proliferation of mature adipose tissue with admixed hemopoietic elements consistent with myelolipoma weighing 29.3 g. This case highlights the inclusion of a full metabolic workup for all adrenal incidentalomas, including AML.

Abstract Background Adrenal incidentalomas are often found during investigation for another tumor or unrelated problems. Except for adrenal myelolipoma (second most common primary adrenal incidentaloma following adrenocortical adenomas), adrenal lipomatous tumors are uncommon generally and are often described as case reports in the literature. Since the amount of fat is variable, without the help of advanced imaging techniques, some adrenal lipomatous tumors may be misdiagnosed before pathologic examination. Herein, we report a case of adrenal adenoma with myelolipomatous metaplasia that was excised as a periceliac mass in the setting of recurrent pancreatic cyst. Case report A 45-year-old Iranian woman with hypertension and end-stage renal disease presented with recurrence of a pancreatic cyst (previous pathologic report was mucinous cyst adenoma). During exploratory laparotomy, the mentioned pancreatic cyst was tightly attached to the stomach and jejunum. There was also a periceliac round rubbery lesion (firstly diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound) that was excised for ruling out malignancy. Histologic examination of the periceliac mass was found to be adrenocortical adenoma with foci of myelolipomatous metaplasia. The pancreatic cyst histology was just a pseudocyst. Conclusion Our case highlights the significance of complete evaluation of incidental findings before surgical intervention, even in the setting of another primary tumor. Myelolipoma and myelolipomatous change (metaplasia) are two different entities. Although very similar as to pathogenesis, there are still some differences.

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.
