Adrenal myelolipoma, which is composed of hematopoietic and adipose elements, is a rare benign tumor. Most adrenal myelolipomas are asymptomatic and are found incidentally. We report two cases of adrenal myelolipoma. One was a middle-aged woman with right flank pain. Tumor size increased 8 years later. The other patient was a 63-year-old man presenting with right flank soreness. The right adrenal tumor was found by abdominal sonography. Both of them received adrenalectomy to relieve symptoms and the pathologic results showed adrenal myelolipoma. The clinical, radiologic and pathologic characteristics of these two cases are discussed together with a review of the literature.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.
