Abstract
AbstractAdrenal myelolipoma is a rare condition. Although benign in nature, these tumors can increase in size and cause a mass effect to nearby structures presenting as abdominal distension and pain. In 90% of cases, adrenal myelolipomas are unilateral. However, the real challenge in management is when bilateral adrenal myelolipoma is present. Herein, we present a case of a 51-year-old male Caucasian patient with bilateral adrenal myelolipoma. The patient had a large left adrenal myelolipoma (23 × 13 cm) and a small one on the right (4.4 × 4 cm). We opted for an open left adrenalectomy due to classical features on computed tomography scan and the mass effect of the tumor.
