Résumé
Myelolipoma is a rare, benign, non-secreting tumor and its pathophysiology is of metaplasia of the cells of the adrenal cortex into reticuloendothelial cells. Although they are often small and asymptomatic, some cases of giant adrenal myelolipoma cause symptoms such as chronic pain. Few cases of adrenal myelolipoma have been reported in the literature. We present a case of a large right adrenal myelolipoma in a 26-year-old female patient, who presented with an adrenal mass, and discuss the challenges of diagnosis and treatment.
