Abstract
A case of giant symptomatic myelolipoma is described in which clinical differentiation was difficult. It was considered to be an extremely r are case of giant myelolipoma arising in the adrenal gland. Histologic ally the present case contained more lipomatous elements than others r eported to date. This is a case of giant adrenal myelolipoma with a fe w foci of myeloid elements and it is suggested that this case has a tr ue neoplastic nature rather than a hyperplastic or metaplastic one.
