Abstract
Adrenal myelolipoma with hyperandrogenemia is extremely rare. We report a case of a 26-year-old Chinese female with schizophrenia, who presented with a hormonally active tumor causing hyperandrogenemia. The mass was found by computerized tomography when she had her gynecologic examination for secondary amenorrhea, and it was confirmed to be an adrenal myelolipoma after a histopathological study. She was referred for a left adrenal laparoscopic excision, and the size of adrenal myelolipoma was found to be more than 10 cm. We report this case because large adrenal myelolipomas with hyperandrogenemia and schizophrenia are rare, and adrenal myelolipoma associated with hyperandrogenemia might be determined by the enzymes involved in the production of hormones.
