Shoulder Pain Secondary to Mediastinal Myelolipoma: A Case Report

Myelolipomas are tumors composed of fat and hematopoietic elements. Typically, these neoplasms are benign and found in the adrenal glands. In certain occurrences, however, they can be found in other physiologic regions. Rarely do these become symptomatic, which may also contribute to the limited instances noted in medical literature. In this report, we outline an incidentally found extra-adrenal myelolipoma in an otherwise healthy patient, along with the subsequent diagnostic and treatment modalities employed. Given the rarity of such cases, this report aims to contribute to the existing literature and help familiarize and guide healthcare professionals in the diagnosis and management of these conditions.
