Abstract:
Adrenal myelolipomas are rare benign tumors, usually discovered by chance in patients with hypertension, obesity or various endocrine disorders. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) can occur as a primary disease or in a variety of secondary settings. So far, no association between the two conditions has been described. We report a case of a woman admitted for nephrotic syndrome, in which a coexistence of FSGS and bilateral large adrenal myelolipomas was revealed.
