Abstract
A rare case of bilateral adrenal myelolipomas in a female cotton-top t amarin is reported. Large bilateral masses in the adrenal glands were composed of mature adipose cells containing varying amounts of hematop oietic cells of the myeloid, erythroid, and megakaryocytic series. The gross and histologic features of this case closely resemble human ''g iant'' adrenal myelolipomas.
