A Single-Center Experience of Special Cases: Adrenal Myelolipoma and Adrenal Adenoma with Myelolipoma Component

Abstract

Abstract Isolated adrenal myelolipoma (IAM) is a benign neoplasm of the adrenal gland and is the second most common primary adrenal tumor following adrenocortical adenomas. Another type of adrenal tumor formation is known as adenoma with myelolipoma component (AMC). This study aims to retrospectively compare IAM and AMC cases in a single institution, focusing on special clinical and pathologic features, and comparing coincidences with the literature. According to our study, IAM and AMC have similar entities; including histopathological findings and cover similar comorbidities. However, due to all the remaining features soon to be discussed; we suggest that these two tumors should be studied under different headings.
