FAJARDO, Roosevelt et al. Adrenal myelolipoma: case report and literature review. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2009, vol.24, n.2, pp.123-129. ISSN 2011-7582.

Adrenal myelolipoma is an uncommon and benign tumor which is generally asymptomatic. The tumor is frequently discovered as an incidental finding. It can evolve with clinical manifestations like abdominal pain, particularly when the tumor reaches a large size. Alternatively it can show association with causes of secondary hyprtension such as pheochromocytoma and aldosterone-producing adenoma. We report a case of an adrenal adenoma associated with myelolipoma in a patient with history of ten years of refractory hypertension.

Keywords : adrenocortical adenoma; myelolipoma; adrenal cortex neoplasms; refractory hipertension.
