Abstract:
Adrenal myelolipoma is an uncommon, benign, hormonally non-active lesion that is composed of a mix of hemopoietic elements and mature adipose tissue. Most adrenal myelolipomas are incidentally found by ultrasonogram, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. This tumor is commonly asymptomatic, although patients will occasionally present with nonspecific abdominal pain. We report here on a case of myelolipoma that was treated by Hand-assisted transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
