Mielolipoma en una paciente con hiperplasia suprarrenal congénita / Adrenal myelolipoma in a patient with congenital adrenal hyperplasia

Introducción: El mielolipoma es un tumor benigno caracterizado por la presencia de tejido adiposo y elementos de la médula ósea. Se ha visto que puede estar relacionado con niveles elevados de ACTH como en la Hiperplasia Suprarrenal Congénita (HSC). Objetivo: Presentación de un caso clínico. Reporte de caso: Mujer de 64 años de edad con antecedente de Hiperplasia Suprarrenal Congénita en la que se diagnostica de forma incidental un mielolipoma. Conclusiones: Ante lesiones mayores a 5 centímetros, sintomáticas o que sufren algún cambio (clínico o radiológico) durante el seguimiento, se debería considerar el tratamiento quirúrgico con abordaje laparoscópico, el cual sería la mejor opción.

Introduction: Myelolipoma is a benign tumor characterized by the presence of fat and bone marrow elements. We have seen that may be related to elevated levels of ACTH and Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH). Objective: Presentation of a case report. Case report: Female 64 years old with a history of congenital adrenal hyperplasia where incidentally diagnosed myelolipoma. Conclusions: In lesions larger than 5 inches, symptomatic or suffering any change (clinical or radiological) during follow-up, should consider surgical treatment with laparoscopic approach, which would be the best option

Adrenal myelolipoma: diagnosis and management

Adrenal myelolipomas are benign lesions that contain hematopoietic and fatty elements. They are usually hormonally inactive and asymptomatic until they reach large sizes. With the routine use of cross-sectional imaging, these lesions are now being discovered with increasing frequency. We performed a comprehensive review of the literature using the PubMed database containing the key word adrenal myelolipoma. We identified 492 articles written from 1956 to 2006 and reviewed 93 in detail including the authors' own experience. In this review, we highlighted the salient diagnostic features of adrenal myelolipomas and offered a guide for management of these benign lesions. Adrenal myelolipomas may grow over time, but they can usually be followed without surgical excision. In some cases, very large myelolipomas can present with pain and can be confused with necrotic adrenal carcinomas, thus necessitating their surgical removal
