Background: Presacral myelolipomas form a rare disease and are often found incidentally in imaging diagnostics.
Case Presentation: In this study, we report the case of a 71-year-old caucasian female with an incidental finding of a retroperitoneal tumor on magnetic resonance imaging scan. This report aimed at presenting the clinical course of this patient with emphasis on analysis of pathological, clinical, and epidemiological features in a meta-analysis of reported cases.
Conclusion: Presacral myelolipomas are rare and its etiology remains unclear. Surgical resection is indicated in symptomatic lesions and lesions > 4 cm. More clinical and pathological research on this rare entity is warranted.

Extra-adrenal myelolipoma (EAM) is a rare benign tumor composed of mature adipose and hematopoietic tissues. Its etiology remains to be elucidated and there are few case reports describing the clinical features and treatment of EAMs in the central nervous system.

Myelolipoma of the kidney is a very rare benign disease which is composed of mature adipose tissue admixed with mature hematopoietic elements in varying proportions. The most common location of myelolipoma is in the adrenal glands, but extra-adrenal myelolipomas in other locations such as the retroperitoneum, presacral region, pelvis, and mediastinum has also been reported. In this case report, we present a case of huge extra-adrenal myelolipoma in renal parenchyma which is rare site for its origin.
