“…Since 2006, only 37 cases have been reported in the English-language literature. The sites of extraadrenal myelolipoma have been described in the presacral soft tissue, retroperitoneum, pelvis, mesentery, spleen, liver, stomach, mediastinum, and leptomeninges [2][3][4][5][6][7]. Only eight cases of myelolipoma arising from the lung have been reported [8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

“…Extraadrenal myelolipoma is very rare. They have been reported in the presacral region [2], mediastinum [3], retroperitoneum [4], liver [5], spleen [6], stomach [7], leptomeninges, and thoracic cavity including lung. To the best of our knowledge, only 8 cases of primary myelolipoma of the lung have been reported [8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

“…US, CT and MRI are valuable techniques for making a preoperative diagnosis of this tumor in 90% of the cases [3]. Although only a CT or US-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNA) can differentiate AML from a malignant tumor, involving minimal morbidity and providing a rapid, reliable and without operation diagnosis [6,12].…”

We report a case of a nonfunctioning, synchronous, bilateral, very large adrenal myelolipoma in an obese woman. She had diabetes mellitus and oligomenorrhea due to polycystic ovarian disease, and for that, she was taking progesterone medication for over 12 years. The principal clinical findings, the etiology and pathogenesis, the diagnostic-tools including US-guided fine-needle biopsy to preoperative differential diagnosis, are discussed.

Fine-needle aspiration of a presacral myelolipoma: A case presentation with flow cytometry and immunohistochemical studies

et al. 1999

Myelolipomas are benign soft‐tissue tumors predominantly found in the adrenal gland. Extra‐adrenal myelolipomas are rare, with about 30 previous cases reported. Approximately half of the reported cases were located in the presacral region. These were usually found at autopsy or during the workup of vague abdominal symptoms. Histologically, these lesions show bone marrow elements, with adipose tissue and scattered lymphoid aggregates. Radiologically‐guided fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) is helpful in establishing the diagnosis, thus obviating resection in some patients. We report on a case of an incidental presacral myelolipoma that underwent examination by computer tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, FNA, and immunohistochemical staining. This lesion was also analyzed by flow cytometry. To our knowledge, the use of the latter technique in the characterization of such tumors has not been previously reported. Diagn.
