ABSTRACT
Extra-adrenal myelolipoma is a rare benign tumor which can occur in the abdomen, thorax, or even in the face. We present a case of 58-year-old woman patient with thoracic myelolipoma, which has manifested as three paravertebral masses at the level of T9 and T10. The computed tomography scan showed heterogenous enhancing masses, which contained fat component. She underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, and the pathologic examination revealed adipose tissue with many hematopoietic cells, consistent with myelolipoma.
