Adrenal Myelolipoma is a rare benign neoplasm composed of mature adipose tissue and a variable amount of haemopoietic elements. Most lesions are small and asymptomatic, discovered incidentally during autopsy or on imaging studies performed for other reasons. One case of adrenal myelolipoma is presented here which was hormonally inactive and discovered incidentally during ultrasound examination.
