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 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.
