[Adrenal gland myelolipoma: radiological view].

Objective: To report a case of adrenal myelolipoma in a female patient with a history of arterial hypertension and increased plasma aldosterone levels.

Methods: Evaluation by CT and ultrasound, and anatomopathological analysis were performed.

Results: The CT and ultrasound scans showed a fat-containing adrenal mass. The patient underwent surgery. Histological analysis of the surgical specimen demonstrated a myelolipoma, a benign tumor composed in varying proportions of adipose and hematopoietic tissue.

Conclusions: A diagnosis of adrenal myelolipoma must be considered when a fat-containing adrenal mass is demonstrated by ultrasound, CT or MRI.
