Myelolipoma of the adrenal gland

Myelolipoma of the adrenal gland: sonographic and CT features

“…2) Hemorrhage and necrosis within the tumor and compression of surrounding structures may cause pain in the flank and lead to imaging studies of the kidney. Most adrenal myelolipomas are discovered serendipitously during evaluation of patients for unrelated symptoms [5][6][7][8].…”

“…However, atypical findings caused by calcification, hemorrhage, and non-fat-containing areas within the tumor have been reported [6,7]. We describe the sonognaphic and CT features of pathologically proved adrenal myelolipoma in 1 3 patients.…”

Non-Functioning Tumor of the Suprarenal Gland

“…An adrenalec tomy was performed by means of lumbotomy, and a large non infiltrating cystic mass was removed from above the right kidney. In the anatomic pathologic study it was diagnosed as a metastic mela- The most frequent symptoms usually are: pain [5,17]; fever [5]; mass [5,17,22]; arterial hypertension [5,21] which is discovered fortuitously [5,22], and those symptoms associated in particular with the spread of the cancer in question. In order of frequency they originate from: cutaneous melanoma (50%); lungs (35-40%) [17], and breast (39%) [17].…”

“…Secondary tumors are more com mon and frequently asymptomatic [7,13,18,19]. An anatomic pathology study [5] will determine the neoplasia in question and show the existenc of a capsule [21 ], its adhesion and attachment (all of which are our own findings). and para-aortic gland masses.…”
