Summary:Adrenal myelolipomas are non-functional benign tumors of hematopoietic and mature adipose tissue. Adrenal myelolipomas, which are generally detected in post-mortem examinations, have become more detectable thanks to evolution and frequent use of imaging techniques. This presentation elaborates on a case of 35-year old male patient presenting with no complaint but diagnosed with adrenal myelolipoma in histopathological examination following surrenalectomy operation for an adrenal mass incidentally detected on ultrasonography and computed tomography work-up.
