Generalized myelolipoma

Arch Iran Med. 2006 Jul;9(3):274-6.

Abstract

Myelolipoma is a benign tumor originating from hematopoietic and adipose tissue. This tumor usually develops in the adrenal gland, but rare presentations of extraadrenal myelolipoma are also reported, which usually arise from the presacral region. Herein, we present a 6-year-old girl with myelolipoma with generalized involvement of her abdomen, pelvis, chest, and retroorbital region.
