An association of myelolipoma with adrenal cortical adenoma is rare and the pathogenesis of these tumors remains unclear. Here we present a case of an incidentally discovered adrenal tumor with radiologic characteristics of a myelolipoma who underwent adrenalectomy due to biochemical suspicion for pheochromocytoma.
