Özet

Myelolipoma is a tumor-like growth composed of mature fat tissue and bone marrow elements. It occurs in the adrenal gland or as an isolated soft tissue mass. It may be associated with endocrine disorders such as hermaphroditism, Cushing's disease, Addison's disease and obesity of unknown cause. These lesions rarely measure more than 5 cm in diameter, although giant tumors have been reported in the literature. The fifth largest surgically resected adrenal myelolipoma in the literature is reported and its clinical associations and, macroscopic and microscopic features are discussed.
