Abstract

: Adrenal myelolipoma (AML) is a rare benign tumour composed of mature adipose tissue and hematopoietic tissue. Very few cases have been reported. Most of these patients are asymptomatic. Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare entity, not encountered frequently and can occur as an incidental finding. Awareness regarding this entity is very much essential to exclude surgical exploration or extensive surgery. They are hormonally inactive though they may sometimes coexist with primary aldosteronism, congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), pheochromocytoma, adenoma and Cushings syndrome
