Abstract

Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare benign tumor originating from the adrenal cortex. Composed of adipose tissue and bone marrow. The incidence of adrenal myelolipoma is 0.08 to 0.2% of autopsy cases and 0.06% of patients operated. Large tumors of a size greater than 7 cm should be removed. We report here the case of a 41 years old patient with a large right adrenal myelolipoma. The radiological outcomes and surgical management.
