ABSTRACT
A myelolipoma was surgically removed following its identification by computed tomography scan. The presenting symptom was abdominal pain, associated with an enlarging mass in the lower abdomen. Histological review found the myelolipoma to be arising from ectopic adrenocortical tissue. Myelolipomas arising from extra-adrenal locations are rare. The literature was reviewed and various presentations of this benign tumor were discussed.
