“…Although most frequently encountered in individuals between fifth and seventh decades, they are also reported in children. [9] They are usually small (<5 cm), but giant myelolipomas reaching up to 34 cm are also known to occur. [1] Unilateral myelolipomas are more common; only 10 cases of bilateral myelolipomas have been documented worldwide till date.…”

In this article, we have discussed about two cases of adrenal myelolipoma and aim to discuss the role of imaging in their diagnosis and their management. Different imaging techniques such as ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were used to aid in diagnosis in each of the cases. The findings have been highlighted here. In each of the cases, the diagnosis could be confirmed by imaging, and there was cholelithiasis seen associated with unilateral adrenal myelolipoma. Adrenal myelolipomas are rare, benign, non-functional tumors of adrenal gland. Most tumors are unilateral and small; bilateral, giant myelolipomas are extremely rare. The association of adrenal myelolipoma with gallstones is uncommon. To our knowledge only two cases of such an association have been reported in the literature. However, the possibility does exist and steps should be taken to ensure a complete diagnosis. Also, it is important to understand the key points which help us in diagnosing adrenal myelolipomas by imaging.

“…Omówienie W prezentowanej tu pracy przedstawiliśmy przypadek szpiczakotłuszczaka nadnercza u kilkunastoletniej dziewczynki, chorującej na wrodzony przerost nadnerczy. Diagnoza tego typu guza w nadnerczach jest stawiana bardzo rzadko u dzieci, w dostępnej literaturze można bowiem znaleźć jedynie kilka opisów przypadków myelolipoma nadnerczy u dzieci [1,9]. Nie znaleziono dotychczas opisu współwystępowania u dzieci tego guza z wrodzonym przerostem nadnerczy.…”

“…Badania eksperymentalne prowadzone przez Seyle i Stone [9,17] w latach 50. ubiegłego wieku wykazały transformację komórek nadnerczowych w tkankę szpikową, poddanych działaniu ekstraktów z kortykotropiny i testosteronu.…”

“…[11] osób spośród 19 badanych z guzem zlokalizowanym w jednym nadnerczu stwierdzono szpiczakotłuszczaka po stronie prawej. Podobnie było u naszej pacjentki oraz w innych opisanych przypadkach u dzieci [1,9]. Przy obustronnej lokalizacji myelolipoma w nadnerczach zauważono asymetrię w wielkości guzów.…”

Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare, benign tumor of the adrenal glands, in most cases, a clinically silent, hormonally inactive. Extremely rare occurs in the pediatric population. It may be accompanied by Cushing disease and congenital adrenal hyperplasia as well. Generally, this tumor is detected incidentally during routine imaging tests. The most sensitive diagnostic method to identify myelolipoma is a computed tomography. Asymptomatic tumors do not require treatment, whereas large lesions should be treated surgically. In this case, the myelolipoma tumor was detected in a 14-year-old girl with congenital adrenal hyperplasia and manifested with severe abdominal pain.
