Extraadrenal myelolipoma. A report of two cases

Am J Clin Pathol. 1992 Mar;97(3):402-4. doi: 10.1093/ajcp/97.3.402.

Abstract

Two cases of extraadrenal myelolipoma with unusual clinicopathologic features are described. The patient in case 1 had multifocal myelolipomas, involving both the lung and retroperitoneum, that mimicked malignancy, and the patient in case 2 had a single diffuse retroperitoneal myelolipoma without circumscription. Of possible etiologic significance is the fact that both patients were treated with exogenous steroids.
