Adrenocortical Adenoma with Foci of Myelolipoma in a Patient of Conn’s Syndrome
Adrenal myelolipoma is an uncommon benign tumour usually discovered by chance in patients. It is usually inactive hormonally and composed of mature adipose tissue with normal haematopoietic cells. Rarely, adrenocortical adenoma and adrenal myelolipoma can coexist. We report a case of a 40 years...

| description | Adrenal myelolipoma is an uncommon benign tumour
usually discovered by chance in patients. It is usually inactive
hormonally and composed of mature adipose tissue with
normal haematopoietic cells. Rarely, adrenocortical adenoma
and adrenal myelolipoma can coexist. We report a case of a 40
years old Indian woman with 3 years history of hypertension. CT
scan showed a left adrenal tumour measuring 3×2.6 cm. Clinical
history and laboratory result suggests a metabolic disorder like
Conn’s syndrome. The patient underwent left adrenalectomy
and the histopathology study revealed adrenocortical adenoma
with foci of myelolipoma. |
