RESUMEN

Introducción:

Los mielolipomas suprarrenales son tumores benignos inusuales compuestos por tejido adiposo maduro y células hematopoyéticas.

Objetivo:

Presentar un nuevo caso de mielolipoma suprarrenal y describir sus características clínicas, imaginológicas y la terapéutica aplicada. Caso clínico Paciente femenina de 68 años de edad, con antecedentes de hipertensión arterial, diabetes mellitus tipo 2 y obesidad mórbida, que ingresó en el Servicio de Cirugía General del Hospital Militar Central Dr. Carlos J. Finlay, por presentar dolor en el hipocondrio derecho. Al examen físico presentaba ligero tinte ictérico de piel y mucosas, dolor abdominal difuso a predominio de hipocondrio derecho, sin reacción peritoneal, signo de Murphy negativo. En el tórax se auscultaron crepitantes bibasales y el murmullo vesicular disminuido. Los exámenes de analítica sanguínea demostraron pruebas hepáticas con valores elevados y eritrosedimentación acelerada. La tomografía axial computarizada abdominal reveló una tumoración, que se correspondía conla glándula suprarrenal derecha, que medía110x135x90 mm. Se realizó la suprarrenalectomía derecha que transcurrió sin complicaciones. El diagnóstico histopatológico fue mielolipoma suprarrenal. La paciente evolucionó satisfactoriamente.

Conclusiones:

El mielolipoma suprarrenal no presenta un cuadro clínico característico y en muchas ocasiones su hallazgo es incidental. La tomografía axial computarizada es la técnica de elección para el diagnóstico imaginológico de esta lesión. En las masas mayores de 6 cm está indicado el tratamiento quirúrgico, y la cirugía convencional, es un método útil para este fin(AU)
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Adrenal myelolipomas are unusual slow-growing benign tumors, composed of mature adipose tissue and hematopoietic cells.

Objective:

To present a new case of adrenal myelolipoma as well as to describe its clinical, imaging and applied therapeutic characteristics. Clinical Case Female patient of 68 years old, with a history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus type 2 and obese, who was admitted to the General Surgery Service of the Hospital Militar Central Dr. Carlos J. Finlay, for presenting pain in the right hypochondrium. In the general physical examination, she presented a morbid obesity with a slight icteric dye of the skin and mucous membranes, and in the abdomen diffuse abdominal pain was observed, predominantly in the right hypochondrium without peritoneal reaction and negative Murphy sign; no palpated visceromegalias. Bi-basal crackles were heard in the thorax with diminished vesicular murmur. The blood tests performed showed liver tests with high values, and accelerated erythrosedimentation. In the computerized axial tomography an abdominal tumor was observed that impressed to correspond with the right adrenal gland, and that it mediates 110x135x90 mm. The right adrenalectomy was performed without complications. The histopathological diagnosis was an adrenal myelolipoma. The patient has evolved satisfactorily.

Conclusions:

Adrenal myelolipoma does not present a characteristic clinical picture, so its finding is often incidental. Computed tomography is the technique of choice for the diagnosis of this lesion. In the masses greater than 6 centimeters, surgical treatment is indicated, with conventional surgery being a useful route for this(AU)
