Disease relevance of Myelolipoma

• Lacerations of adrenal tumors are very rare events and have been described for myelolipoma, pheochromocytoma, and cortisol-producing adenoma [1].
• A case report of hepatocellular carcinoma and focal nodular hyperplasia with a myelolipoma in two chimpanzees and a review of spontaneous hepatobiliary tumors in non-human primates [2].
• Histologically, two cortisol-producing adenomas, an adenoma with subclinical cortisol production, and two pheochromocytomas (all of the preceding detected during the preoperative hormonal evaluation), three cystic lesions, one myelolipoma, and one hematoma were found [3].
• Aldosterone-producing adenoma associated with foci of myelolipoma [4].
• A 55-year-old man with a rib fracture. Adrenal myelolipoma [5].

High impact information on Myelolipoma

• False-positive 111 indium capromab pendetide scan due to benign myelolipoma [6].
• Extra-adrenal myelolipomas compared with extramedullary hematopoietic tumors: a case of presacral myelolipoma [7].
• The association of adrenal myelolipoma with primary hyperparathyroidism has been reported in the literature only once previously [8].
• RT-PCR did not detect menin expression in one adrenal myelolipoma [9].
• Aunt Minnie's Corner. Adrenal myelolipoma [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Myelolipoma

• We present a case of aldosterone-secreting adrenocortical carcinoma with concomitant myelolipoma [11].
• Hemolytic anemia with pyruvate kinase deficiency presenting as paravertebral myelolipoma [12].

Anatomical context of Myelolipoma

• In the liver, the myelolipomas, which were partially encapsulated, included a large amount of hematopoietic tissue and adipose cells that resembled normal bone marrow cells in various ways [13].
• A spectrum of change occurred that ranged from small clusters of purely erythroid or myeloid cells to microscopic myelolipomas that contained a mixture of hematopoietic elements [14].
• The tumor was excised, and diagnosed pathologically as myelolipoma, being composed of mature fat cells and hematopoietic components [15].

Gene context of Myelolipoma

• Myelolipoma in a hepatocellular carcinoma: CT-pathologic correlation [16].
• In contrast, specimens from three normal tissue biopsies and FNA specimens of normal tissue adjacent to the malignant lesions, as well as the myelolipoma, exhibited no telomerase activity [17].
• Ectopic ACTH and adrenal myelolipoma [18].
• Cushing's disease associated with adrenal myelolipoma, adrenal calcification and thyroid cancer [19].
• Prior reports of adrenal myelolipoma evaluated with FDG-PET imaging have described no significant FDG uptake within these benign tumors [20].
