CAMPOS ARBULU, Ana L et al. Mielolipoma adrenal gigante: Adrenalectomía derecha laparoscópica. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2016, vol.76, n.4, pp.249-250. ISSN 0025-7680.

Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare, benign, non-functioning tumor. It is composed by fat and hematopoietic tissues. We present the case of a 33-year-old woman with diagnosis of a 14 cm diameter non-functioning right adrenal incidentaloma, with imaging features suggestive of myelolipoma. Based on the benign nature of the tumor, laparoscopic resection was performed. Histopathology showed a myelolipoma, weighting 444 grams. The patient evolved with an uneventful postoperative period. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy for a giant myelolipoma was feasible and successful.
