Summary
This study details two adrenal myelolipoma cases, rare tumors composed of fat and blood-forming tissue. Increased use of imaging techniques may lead to more frequent diagnoses, potentially complicating differentiation from malignancies.
Area of Science:
- Endocrinology
- Oncology
- Radiology
Background:
- Adrenal myelolipomas are rare, benign adrenal tumors.
- They are often incidentally discovered in obese, middle-aged individuals.
- Clinical presentation can include flank pain or be asymptomatic.
