Abstract
Introduction: Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare urological lesion, benign in nature, and composed of a variable mixture of mature adipose and hematopoietic elements. The true incidence of these tumours is not well known. Despite their benign biology, these lesions can be a cause of dilemma for a urologist; we describe a case of incidental diagnosis of adrenal myelolipoma in a patient who presented with upper abdominal pain and reviews the literature on its aetiology, diagnosis, and management. Finally, the optimal treatment for myelolipoma depends on the size and symptoms of the mass and the needs of the patient.
Case Report: Here we present a case of a 60-year-old female who presented with chronic left-sided flank pain and right upper abdomen that had been worsening over the past three weeks.
Conclusion: Myelolipoma is a rare, non-functional, benign tumour. Patients having high blood pressure don't respond well to antihypertensive. They respond effectively to the medication after the removal of the tumour. So we recommend that all patients with myelolipoma not responding well to non-surgical management should plan for surgery for a better outcome.
