ABSTRACT
Adrenal myelolipoma (AML) is a rare benign tumor, usually non-functioning and asymptomatic until it reaches large size. AML is mostly detected incidentally by imaging and is composed of adipose tissue and hematopoietic elements. Only symptomatic tumor needs surgical excision. We report the case of a large non-functioning adrenal tumor discovered by means of combined imaging techniques in a middle-aged male patient who complained the sudden onset of severe lower back pain; successful laparoscopic removal was performed, and AML was diagnosed at histopathology.
