RESUMEN
Los mielolipomas adrenales son tumores benignos, no funcionantes e infrecuentes, generalmente de diagnóstico incidental, que eventualmente provocan síntomas locales. Tras una revisión de la literatura previa publicada, se realizó la descripción de un caso clínico de mielolipoma adrenal bilateral, que coexiste con hipotiroidismo primario, relación no reportada hasta el presente. Dichas masas tumorales se diagnosticaron en una mujer de 66 años, aquejada de dolor abdominal recurrente, que además padecía hipotiroidismo e hipercolesterolemia, a la que se le practicó con éxito la exéresis de la lesión de mayor tamaño. Se propuso un tratamiento diagnóstico-terapéutico para este tipo de tumores(AU)
ABSTRACT
The adrenal myelolipomas are benign tumors, non-functioning and infrequent, generally of incidental diagnosis which by chance provoke local symptoms. After a review of published previous literature it was possible to describe of a clinical case of bilateral adrenal myelolipoma coexisting with a primary hypothyroidism with a relation not reported until now. Such tumoral masses were diagnosed in a woman aged 66 with recurrent abdominal pain and hypothyroidism and hypercholesterolemia who undergoes successfully a exeresis of the bigger lesion. A diagnostic-therapeutic treatment was proposed for this type of tumors(AU)
