| Sumario: | Myelolipoma is an uncommon tumor composed of adipose tissue and normal hematopoietic elements, and is most often found in the adrenal glands. We report a patient with a posterior mediastinal myelolipoma. The 68-year-old male patient showed a right lower mediastinal shadow in a chest X-ray. A computed tomographic scan demonstrated a right posterior mediastinal mass. Magnetic resonance imaging provided additional useful information. The patient underwent a successful resection under video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. |
