Overview
Adrenolipomas are rare benign neoplasms that histologically consisting of fat and bone marrow in varying proportions. In general, they are small, unilateral and hormonally inactive. They are made up of mature adipose tissue and a variable amount of hematopoietic elements. Most lesions are small and asymptomatic. Adrenolipomas are usually detected incidentally at autopsy or by imaging studies performed for other reasons. Most tumors are unilateral, they show no predilection to one peculiar side.
