Abstract:
Introduction: Adrenal myelolipomas and lipomas are extremely rare benign tumors. They are usually asymptomatic and in most cases are incidentally found at radiological examinations or autopsy. Symptoms such as abdominal pain and increasing girth occur only when the tumor grows large. Objectives: To evaluate and treat this situation. Subjects: We report the case of a giant adrenal myelolipoma with dimensions of 9 x 8 x 8cm and a giant adrenal lipoma with dimensions of 20 x16 x 12cm. Firstly, in a 48 year old man admitted to hospital on the 18 January 2005 without symtoms of adrenal lipoma or adrenal mylolipoma and another one is a 25 year old man who was hospitalized on the 8 December, 2004 with pain in the right hip since two months prior, normal blood pressure and undiscovered tumor by hand. Result: Other tests were normal. Looking at the CT scan images, a dark and consistent block located between the liver and right kidney can be seen. It pushed and turned the right kidney. Both of them were resected by laparoscopy. Conclusion: We discuss the prevalence, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of these uncommon tumors.
