Myelolipoma. H&E stain.

LM adipose tissue, hematopoietic elements from all three lineages (erythroid, myeloid, megakaryocytic), +/-calcification
LM DDx angiomyolipoma of the kidney, lipoma, liposarcoma, teratoma
Site adrenal gland

Prevalence rare
Prognosis benign

Adrenal myelolipoma is a benign tumour of the adrenal gland.

Myelolipoma redirects here.

General

  • Benign and rare.
  • Typically asymptomatic and hormonally inactive.[1]
    • Symptoms: back or abdominal pain.
  • Diagnosis - usu. by abdominal CT.

Treatment:

  • Watchful waiting if small (<=7 cm) and asymptomatic.[1]

Microscopic

Features:[2]

  • Adipose tissue.
  • Hematopoietic elements from all three lineages:
    1. Erythroid.
    2. Myeloid.
    3. Megakaryocytic.
  • +/-Calcification.[1]

DDx:[3]

Microscopic

The sections shows a lesion with bland adipocytes and hematopoietic elements (erythroid, myeloid, megakaryocytic) that is surrounded by a thin rim of adrenal cortex and a partial fibrous pseudocapsule. Significant cellular atypia is absent. The lesion appears to be clear of the inked margin.
