    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Extramedullary myelolipomas are rare tumors. This case highlights a presacral myelolipoma causing urinary retention and azotemia due to bladder neck compression.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pathology
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Extramedullary tumors of hematopoietic tissue are rare.
    • Myelolipomas, typically adrenal, are usually unrelated to bone marrow disorders.
    • Presacral location is uncommon for extramedullary myelolipomas.

    Observation:

    • This study reports a rare case of presacral myelolipoma.
    • The tumor presented with unusual symptoms of urinary retention and azotemia.
    • These symptoms were attributed to compression of the urinary bladder neck.

    Findings:

    • Microscopic examination confirmed benign lipomatous and hematopoietic tissue, characteristic of myelolipoma.
    • Radiographic and ultrasound findings, while suggestive, were not specific.
    • Diagnosis was confirmed via biopsy, as is typical for myelolipomas.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the known clinical presentations of presacral myelolipomas.
    • It underscores the importance of considering myelolipoma in the differential diagnosis of presacral masses causing urinary symptoms.
    • Accurate diagnosis requires histological confirmation, distinguishing it from other tumors.
