Pulmonary-bronchus myelolipoma and review on extra-adrenal myelolipomas in Chinese literature.

Extra-adrenal myelolipomas are extremely rare, especially in bronchus and lung. Up to now, only nine cases of intra pulmonary lesions have been reported all over the world. Here we describe a new discovered pulmonary-bronchus myelolipoma in a 53-year-old man, which is different from the previously reported ones. And we mainly comment on the pathology and diagnosis, comparing with the findings of the extra-adrenal cases reported in Chinese literature.
