Myelolipoma is a benign tumor composed of mature adipose tissue and normal hematopoietic components. It usually occurs in the adrenal glands but rarely in the extra-adrenal region. However, it is difficult to differentiate extra-adrenal myelolipoma from well-differentiated liposarcoma on the basis of the radiological findings.

Extra-adrenal myelolipomas are rare, asymptomatic entities, although large tumors may cause local symptoms or hemorrhage. When these lesions occur outside the adrenals in the retroperitoneum, they are radiographically easily confused with both primary and secondary retroperitoneal tumors, which tend to be aggressive. Although myelolipomas are benign and can be managed conservatively, if malignancy is suspected, a surgical procedure is an option.

Extra-adrenal myelolipomas are exceedingly rare benign tumors composed of adipose and myeloid tissues, which have been reported to occur in various sites including the retroperitoneum, pelvis, and thorax. Myelolipomas are more commonly encountered in the adrenal glands. We illustrate a case of a 72-year-old woman with surgically proven bilateral perirenal and para-aortic lymph nodal myelolipomas detected incidentally by computed tomography.
