A 56- year-old woman visited our hospital complaining of right hypochondralgia. X-ray and endoscopic examinations revealed Borrmann 2 type gastric cancer in the anterior wall of an upper part of the stomach. Ultrasonography showed an echogenic mass in the suprarenal area. The mass which had septal formation within it, was about the same in density as fat on computerized tomography, and was hypovascular fed by the right inferior adrenal artery on angiography. These findings suggested that the mass might be adrenal myelolipoma. After total gastrectomy and right adrenectomy were done, histopathological study confirmed that the case is adrenal myelolipoma associated with Borrmann 2 type gastric cancer. In Japanese literature, only 54 cases of surgically resected adrenal myelolipoma have been reported, and this is the second case of adrenal myelolipoma associated with gastric cancer.
