ALDOSTERONE-PRODUCING ADENOMA ASSOCIATED WITH FOCI OF MYELOLIPOMA

The simultaneous occurrence of adrenal myelolipoma and endocrine disor ders is rare. Myelolipomas have occasionally been found in patients wi th Gushing's syndrome, pheochromocytoma and hyperthyroidism. A recentl y published study described one well-documented case of adrenal adenom a and myelolipoma in a patient with Conn's syndrome. In this report th e patient had a one-year history of treated hyperthyroidism and diagno sed aldosterone-producing adenoma, A disseminated adrenal myelolipoma was found within the adrenocortical adenoma. To our knowledge this his tological finding has not been previously reported in association with both Conn's syndrome and hyperthyroidism.
