Abstract
- Adrenal myelolipoma (AML) is a rare, usually benign, and nonfunctioning tumor. About 7-15% of adrenal incidentalomas are AMLs, composed of normal hematopoietic elements and mature adipose tissue. AML is usually unilateral and < 4 cm. It is often discovered incidentally on abdominal computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. It is related to a chronic increase in adrenocorticotropic hormone, such as that observed in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Cushing disease, Conn's syndrome, and pheochromocytoma. Here, we report a 28-year-old man diagnosed with non-salt-losing congenital adrenal hyperplasia with huge bilateral AMLs and a literature review.
