{{SK}} Adrenal myelolipoma


== Overview ==
{{SK}}
Adrenolipomas are benign tumors histologically consisting of fat and bone marrow in varying proportions. These tumors are benign. In general they are hormonally inactive, small (<5 cm) and unilateral. Adrenolipomas are rare benign [[neoplasms]].They are made up of mature [[adipose tissue]] and a variable amount of [[hematopoietic]] elements. Most lesions are small and asymptomatic. They are usually discovered incidentally at [[autopsy]] or on imaging studies performed for other reasons. Most tumors are unilateral but show no predilection to one particular side. Tumor size varies from several millimeters to more than 30 cm.


==Pathophysiology==
==[[Adrenolipoma overview|Overview]]==
A myelolipoma may represent a site of [[extramedullary hematopoiesis]]. The most widely accepted theory is the existence of [[metaplasia]] of the [[reticuloendothelial cells]] of blood [[capillaries]] in the [[adrenal gland]] in response to stimuli such as [[necrosis]], [[infection]], or [[stress]].

That of an incidentaloma.

The incidence varies from 0.08-0.4% at autopsy.
