Abstract:

Adrenal myelolipomas are rare non functional benign tumours which are incidentally diagnosed in asymptomatic patients. Despite the fact that several theories have been discussed, the origin of myelolipoma remains unclear. Our patient, 19 years old male presented with history of abdominal pain for past 7 years. Computed tomography scan of abdomen with oral and intravenous contrast revealed well defined round heterogenous enhancing mass seen in right supra renal area involving the adrenal gland. Patient underwent surgery by open access through thoracoabdominal approach. Histopathology of resected mass showed myelolipoma along with trilineage haematopoesis with mature adipose tissues.
