Sumario: | Adrenal gland myelolipomas are benign, hormonally inactive, and mostly asymptomatic and unilateral tumors. However, it could be symptomatic and bilateral in rare cases. The diagnosis is based on a CT scan and a histological study. We present a rare case of a surgically managed bilateral adrenal gland myelolipoma with a giant mass on the left side in a 40-year-old man who presented in our department for atypical abdominal pain. The patient underwent surgical resection of the left adrenal mass. Due to the resolution of the abdominal pain, a close follow-up for the right mass by CT scan was chosen. |
