Adrenal myelolipoma in a patient presented with hypertension- A Case Report

Abstract

Adrenal myelolipoma  is a rare benign tumour composed of mature  adipose  tissue  and  hematopoietic  tissue.  Very  few cases  have  been  reported.  Most  of  these  patients  are asymptomatic. I present a rare case of Adrenal Myelolipoma where the patient presented with hypertension and  a clinical suspicion of Pheochromocytoma, which turned out to be an Adrenal myelolipoma. Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare entity, not  encountered  frequently  and  can  occur  as  an  incidental finding. Awareness regarding this entity is very much essential to exclude surgical exploration or extensive surgery.
