An Incidental Finding of Extra-adrenal Myelolipoma in the Upper Abdominal Cavity Attached to Mesentery: A Rare Case.

Syed H Abbas1, Geetika Goyal2, Kate Yu2, Abraham Loo1.   

Abstract

Myelolipoma are tumors of adrenal glands typically found in the adrenal gland, and are comprised of marrow elements and fat. We report a case of an extra adrenal myelolipoma in a 91-year-old patient, who presented to the emergency department with complaints of abdominal pain and shortness of breath. A CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis revealed a mixed attenuation soft tissue mass with admixed fat located within the mesentery inferior to the body of the stomach. A fine needle aspirate of the mass demonstrated a cellular aspirate with maturing trilineage hematopoiesis and mature adipocytes. This case is being presented due to the rarity of extra adrenal myelolipomas.
