Abstract

The clinicopathologic features of a giant adrenal myelolipoma (diameter 16 cm, weight 900 g) are presented. The ultrasonographic and the computed tomographic appearance of adrenal myelolipoma are reviewed. Diagnostic fine-needle aspiration biopsy is recommended for avoidance of unnecessary surgical treatment.
