Bilateral Renal Myelolipoma, Diagnosis Based on Needle Biopsy, Report of a Case

Myelolipoma is a rare benign tumor composed of mature adipose tissue and bone marrow-derived hematopoietic elements. The myelolipoma is mostly seen in the adrenal gland. We reported a 53-year old male patient presented with vague abdominal pain. Spiral abdominal and pelvis computed tomography scan s...

description Myelolipoma is a rare benign tumor composed of mature adipose tissue and bone marrow-derived hematopoietic elements. The myelolipoma is mostly seen in the adrenal gland. We reported a 53-year old male patient presented with vague abdominal pain. Spiral abdominal and pelvis computed tomography scan showed two masses in both kidneys and most suggestive of lymphoma. Needle biopsy of each mass was taken under guided computed tomography scan and showed mature adipose tissue with hematopoietic elements, especially megakaryocytes-like cells, suggestive of myelolipoma.
