ABSTRACT

Introducción: los mielolipomas suprarrenales (ML) son neoplasias benignas poco frecuentes constituidas por tejido adiposo y mieloide. Clínicamente asintomáticas, suelen ser diagnosticados incidentalmente. En México existen solo 32 casos publicados de ML, presentándose en pacientes de entre 37 a 65 años, siendo la relación hombre-mujer 1:1.1, el síntoma más comúnmente reportado es dolor abdominal inespecífico, y la cirugía abierta es el principal abordaje quirúrgico empleado en nuestro país (89%). Caso clínico: presentamos una recopilación de la literatura actual sobre ML en México, además de dos casos clínicos de pacientes con ML: un hombre de 67 años con enfermedad diverticular y una mujer de 40 años con dolor en hipocondrio; en ambos se realizó resección tumoral, midiendo 9.5 cm y 13.3 cm, respectivamente. Conclusiones: presentamos dos casos nuevos en nuestro país que corresponden a incidentalomas. En ambos casos la cirugía se realizó para confirmar el diagnóstico, así como para prevenir posibles complicaciones.


Background: Adrenal myelolipomas (ML) are rare benign neoplasms compound of adipose and myeloid tissue. Clinically they are usually asymptomatic, being diagnosed generally by incident. In Mexico, there are only 32 published cases of ML, these occur between 37 and 65 years, with the male-female ratio being 1:1.1, clinically they present with abdominal or lumbar pain, open surgery being the main surgical approach (89%). Clinical case: We made a literature review of ML in Mexico and present two clinical cases: a 67-year-old man in followup for diverticular disease and a 40-year-old woman with pain in the left upper quadrant. In both cases, tumor resection was performed measuring 9.5 cm and 13.3 cm long respectively. Conclusions: We present two new cases in our country that correspond to incidentalomas. In both cases, surgery was performed to confirm the diagnosis, as well as to prevent possible complications

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los mielolipomas suprarrenales son tumores benignos inusuales compuestos por tejido adiposo maduro y células hematopoyéticas. Objetivo: Presentar un nuevo caso de mielolipoma suprarrenal y describir sus características clínicas, imaginológicas y la terapéutica aplicada. Caso clínico: Paciente femenina de 68 años de edad, con antecedentes de hipertensión arterial, diabetes mellitus tipo 2 y obesidad mórbida, que ingresó en el Servicio de Cirugía General del Hospital Militar Central Dr. Carlos J. Finlay, por presentar dolor en el hipocondrio derecho. Al examen físico presentaba ligero tinte ictérico de piel y mucosas, dolor abdominal difuso a predominio de hipocondrio derecho, sin reacción peritoneal, signo de Murphy negativo. En el tórax se auscultaron crepitantes bibasales y el murmullo vesicular disminuido. Los exámenes de analítica sanguínea demostraron pruebas hepáticas con valores elevados y eritrosedimentación acelerada. La tomografía axial computarizada abdominal reveló una tumoración, que se correspondía conla glándula suprarrenal derecha, que medía110x135x90 mm. Se realizó la suprarrenalectomía derecha que transcurrió sin complicaciones. El diagnóstico histopatológico fue mielolipoma suprarrenal. La paciente evolucionó satisfactoriamente. Conclusiones: El mielolipoma suprarrenal no presenta un cuadro clínico característico y en muchas ocasiones su hallazgo es incidental. La tomografía axial computarizada es la técnica de elección para el diagnóstico imaginológico de esta lesión. En las masas mayores de 6 cm está indicado el tratamiento quirúrgico, y la cirugía convencional, es un método útil para este fin(AU)


Introduction: Adrenal myelolipomas are unusual slow-growing benign tumors, composed of mature adipose tissue and hematopoietic cells. Objective: To present a new case of adrenal myelolipoma as well as to describe its clinical, imaging and applied therapeutic characteristics. Clinical Case: Female patient of 68 years old, with a history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus type 2 and obese, who was admitted to the General Surgery Service of the Hospital Militar Central Dr. Carlos J. Finlay, for presenting pain in the right hypochondrium. In the general physical examination, she presented a morbid obesity with a slight icteric dye of the skin and mucous membranes, and in the abdomen diffuse abdominal pain was observed, predominantly in the right hypochondrium without peritoneal reaction and negative Murphy sign; no palpated visceromegalias. Bi-basal crackles were heard in the thorax with diminished vesicular murmur. The blood tests performed showed liver tests with high values, and accelerated erythrosedimentation. In the computerized axial tomography an abdominal tumor was observed that impressed to correspond with the right adrenal gland, and that it mediates 110x135x90 mm. The right adrenalectomy was performed without complications. The histopathological diagnosis was an adrenal myelolipoma. The patient has evolved satisfactorily. Conclusions: Adrenal myelolipoma does not present a characteristic clinical picture, so its finding is often incidental. Computed tomography is the technique of choice for the diagnosis of this lesion. In the masses greater than 6 centimeters, surgical treatment is indicated, with conventional surgery being a useful route for this(AU)

ABSTRACT

El mielolipoma es un tumor adrenal poco frecuente. Se trata de un tumor benigno no funcionante compuesto por tejido adiposo y hematopoyético. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 33 años de edad con diagnóstico de incidentaloma adrenal de 14 cm de diámetro no funcionante. Los estudios imagenológicos presentaban características sugestivas de mielolipoma. Debido a la naturaleza benigna del tumor se decidió el abordaje laparoscópico. La anatomía patológica informó un mielolipoma de 444 gramos. La paciente evolucionó favorablemente en el postoperatorio. El abordaje laparoscópico para la resección del mielolipoma gigante fue factible y exitoso.


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.

ABSTRACT

El mielolipoma adrenal es un tumor benigno poco frecuente, compuesto de tejido adiposo maduro y elementos hematopoyéticos diversos. Estos tumores pueden localizarse en las glándulas adrenales aunque también pueden encontrarse en sitios extradrenales. Las manifestaciones clínicas son variadas tales como sangramientos digestivos, dolor abdominal en los flancos, masa abdominal palpable, hematuria, hemorragia retroperitoneal y pérdida de peso. Entre los métodos diagnósticos figuran el ultrasonido, la tomografía axial computarizada y la resonancia magnética. La resección quirúrgica es el tratamiento de elección, sobre todo cuando haya sintomatología o en tumores mayores de 4 cm, por el riesgo de ruptura espontánea con hemorragia retroperitoneal. Presentamos la historia clínica de una paciente de 42 años de edad con antecedentes de dolores en hipocondrio derecho de aproximadamente un año de evolución, la cual sufrió un cólico nefrítico que cedió con tratamiento médico. Posteriormente en la consulta externa, en el examen fisico, se constata una masa tumoral en hipocondrio derecho, la cual fue diagnosticada por ultrasonido y tomografía axial computarizada como un tumor adrenal. Se intervino la paciente y se confirma el diagnóstico. La evolución posoperatoria fue buena y la paciente continúa asintomática. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar un nuevo caso de esta enfermedad, poco frecuente, la cual fue diagnosticada en una paciente de 42 años de edad y realizar una breve revisión de la literatura(AU)


Mielolipoma is a rare benign tumor of the adrenal gland, which is formed by mature adipose tissue and several hematopoietic elements. They are generally located in the adrenal glands, although they can occur in other sites. The clinical manifestations are varied such as gastrointestinal bleeding, abdominal pain in the flanks, abdominal mass, retroperitoneal hemorrhage, hematuria and loss of weight. Among the diagnosing methods are ultrasound, computerized axial tomography and magnetic imaging resonance. The surgical excision is the treatment of choice, mainly when symptoms are present or in case of over 4 cm tumors, because of the spontaneous rupture risk with retroperitoneal hemorrhage. The objective of this paper was to present a new case of this rare disease together with a brief literature review. A 42 years-old female with a history of abdominal pain located in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen, who suffered nephritic colic that was successfully treated. The physical exam at the outpatient service revealed a tumorous mass diagnosed as adrenal tumor by means of ultrasound and axial computerized tomography. She was operated on and the diagnosis was confirmed. Her postoperative recovery was good and the patient is still asymptomatic(AU)

ABSTRACT

Adrenal myelolipoma (AML) is a rare benign tumor composed of mature adipose and hematopoietic tissue. Most of these patients are asymptomatic and the tumors are non-secreting. We present a case with a large functional adrenal myelolipoma, wherein the patient was hypertensive and biochemistry revealed increase in 24 hours urinary Vanillylmandelic Acid (VMA), a metabolite of catecholamine. The mass was removed surgically and diagnosed as adrenal myelolipoma on histopathological examination. Both his blood pressure and urinary VMA returned to normal following surgery, which suggested that the mass was functioning and was secreting catecholamine. To the best of our knowledge, a catecholamine secreting adrenal myelolipoma has been reported in the literature only once previously. The association of hypertension and adrenal myelolipoma may not be entirely coincidental, as it may be associated with secreting catecholamine, as seen in our case. We also review the literature on functioning adrenal myelolipoma.

ABSTRACT

Myelolipomas are rare benign tumors mostly located in the adrenal glands. They are usually asymptomatic with just a few millimeters in size, but they can grow over 30 cm becoming a life threat for the patient. This is a case of a 49 years old male patient who was diagnosed with a giant myelolipoma of the right adrenal gland while being studied for other reasons.


Los mielolipomas son tumoraciones benignas poco frecuentes con mayor localización en las glándulas suprarrenales. Su tamaño puede variar desde unos pocos milímetros hasta varias decenas de centímetros y dependiendo del tamaño pueden llegar a ser sintomáticos. Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 49 años al que incidentalmente se le diagnostica un mielolipoma suprarrenal derecho gigante de 22 x 15 x 10 cm.

ABSTRACT

Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare, benign, non-functioning and often asymptomatic tumor of the adrenal gland. It may be complicated by pain or retroperitoneal hemorrhage. Diagnosis is mostly based on medical imaging which also helps to differentiate it from other adrenal incidentalomas by demonstrating its adipose composition. The treatment of choice for complicated, symptomatic or large adrenal myelolipomas is surgical excision. We report the case of a large adrenal myelolipoma in a 44-year-old male patient treated surgically

ABSTRACT

Myelolipoma of the adrenal gland is a rare benign tumor. It is diagnosed incidentally in most cases because of its non-functioning nature, unless it causes symptoms due to its size. It has specific sonographic and computed tomographic features. A case is presented, magnetic resonance findings are reported for the first time and a review of the literature is conducted

ABSTRACT

Los mielolipomas de la glándula suprarrenal son tumores benignos raros, no funcionantes, caracterizados por la presencia de tejido adiposo, y elementos de la médula ósea en varios grados de diferenciación. La mayoría son asintomáticos y descubiertos incidentalmente. Presentamos el caso de un mielolipoma de glándula suprarrenal derecha localizado incidentalmente en el ultrasonido y en la tomografía computada a un paciente de 39 años de edad, que se encontraba bajo estudios para hipertensión arterial. Se sometió a resección laparoscópica de la glándula exitosamente, el estudio histopatológico reportó un tumor de glándula suprarrenal derecha de 6 cm de diámetro correspondiente con un mielolipoma, la evolución del paciente fue satisfactoria
