Summary
Mediastinal myelolipoma, a rare benign tumor, was identified in a 65-year-old woman. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis, highlighting its importance for definitive identification of this extra-adrenal tumor.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Pathology
- Radiology
Background:
- Myelolipoma is a benign, non-functional tumor typically found in the adrenal gland.
- Extra-adrenal myelolipomas are rare but can occur in various locations.
- Most myelolipomas are asymptomatic and discovered incidentally.

Secondary organs, including lymph nodes, the spleen, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), work harmoniously to protect us from disease and infection.
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...

IntroductionA range of clinical features characterizes Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP), but it is important to note that many individuals with MVP are asymptomatic and may remain so throughout their lives. For those who do exhibit symptoms, the following are the key clinical features:Palpitations: This is a common symptom where individuals feel an irregular or rapid heartbeat. Palpitations in MVP are often due to arrhythmias such as premature ventricular contractions or supraventricular...

01:27Mitral Valve Prolapse I: Introduction
22
IntroductionThe mitral valve, one of the heart's four valves, regulates blood flow. These valves have flaps that open and close to direct blood properly through the heart and body. During each heartbeat, the flaps open for blood to pass through and seal shut to prevent backflow. Specifically, the mitral valve opens to allow blood flow from the heart's upper left chamber to the lower left chamber. It then closes securely as the lower left chamber contracts to pump blood to the body, preventing...
