Acute hepatic colic led to the discovery of an adrenal myolipoma without a hemorrhagic component: About a rare symptomatologic presentation - Case report

Abstract

The discovery of an adrenal myolipoma is often fortuitous, or due to the effects of hypersecretion of the adrenal gland. A large tumor can exert a mass effect on neighbouring organs, as in our case where the myolipoma leads to compression of the main bile duct and causes hepatic colic, which is rare to explain the discovery of an adrenal myolipoma on CT.
