Adrenal myelolipoma

The first 100% of the full text of this article appears below.

A 26 year old man presented with two days of abdominal pain and vomiting. Ultrasonography of his abdomen revealed a right adrenal mass that was confirmed by contrast enhanced (oral and intravenous) computed tomography (CT), which showed a 20 × 12 × 6 cm well defined soft tissue mass in right adrenal region (see fig 1). There were two distinct areas of homogeneous attenuation containing fatty tissue component (AO, CT value -34 to -54 HU) and soft tissue component (BO, CT value + 38 to +44 HU) consistent with adrenal myelolipoma. No areas of haemorrhage or calcification were seen. He was subjected to surgery and tumour histopathology confirmed adrenal myelolipoma.
