“…Fewer than 60 cases of extra-adrenal myelolipomas have been reported in the literature. Extra-adrenal myelolipomas have been described in various locations; 50% occur in the presacral region, 1 but they rarely occur in the pelvic retroperitoneum, 2 mediastinum, 3-6 kidney, 7-10 stomach, 11 greater omentum, 12 liver, 13-16 chest, 17,18 and nasal cavity. 19 Myelolipomas also rarely occur in the spleen; only 2 previous cases have been reported in the literature.…”

Myelolipomas are benign tumors, consisting of hematopoietic cells and mature adipose tissue, which mainly occur within the adrenal gland. Extra-adrenal myelolipomas are rare, and fewer than 60 cases have been reported in the literature. Here, we report a case of intrasplenic myelolipoma in a 42-year-old man with more than 1 month of abdominal pain. Computed tomography scanning revealed a giant, heterogeneous, well-demarcated mass in the spleen. Splenectomy was performed, and an intrasplenic giant mass was completely excised. The diagnosis of myelolipoma was made based on morphological examination. To the best of our knowledge, this is the third reported case of myelolipoma in the human spleen.

“…1 They are usually adrenal in origin; however they have been reported in several extraadrenal locations. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The retroperitoneal presacral space is the most commonly reported location of an extra-adrenal myelolipoma (EAML). 2 Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is the gold standard operation to treat benign adrenal masses, including adrenal myelolipoma.…”
