Myelolipom der Nebenniere

A case of a 73 year old man who was preoperatively diagnosed as possibly having myelolipoma is presented herein. Adrenal myelolipoma is an uncommon benign tumor of which only 74 foreign cases and 43 Japanese cases have been previously reported in the literature dealing with surgically removed myelolipomas. The most consistent complaint of the adrenal myelolipoma sufferer is abdominal pain, caused by hemorrhaging in the tumor, and many cases are associated with obesity, hypertension and/or diabetes mellitus. There is now an increasing number of such cases being diagnosed during abdominal scanning with ultrasonography or computerized tomography for unrelated problems, whereupon the myelolipoma is usually surgically resected. With the availability of modern scanning techniques and fine needle biopsy, however, it should be possible to adopt a more conservative approach to the management of asymptomatic adrenal myelolipoma. Nevertheless, symptomatic or large tumors, must be removed since there is a high risk of spontaneous hemorrhage.
