Abstract

We present a case of hemorrhagic adrenocortical adenoma with myelolipoma. A 66-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for left retroperitoneal mass. Based on abdominal computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and blood tests, preoperative diagnosis was a sarcoma of renal capsule origin. En bloc resection of adrenal gland, tumor, and the kidney with lymph node dissection was performed. Histologically, the mass was diagnosed as hemorrhagic adrenocortical adenoma with myelolipomatous foci.
