A recent report from Hebei Medical University Third Hospital in China discusses the case of a 15-year-old who experienced a pathological fracture caused by a myelolipoma in the femur. Myelolipoma is a rare type of benign tumor that typically occurs in the adrenal glands, but it is extremely rare for it to occur in bone tissue. The patient underwent surgery to remove the tumor and stabilize the fracture, and after a 2-year follow-up, there was no recurrence of the tumor. This case provides valuable information on the treatment of intraosseous myelolipoma in minors and fills a gap in existing knowledge. [Extracted from the article]

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: "Intraoperative assessment by the surgeon and intraoperative pathological evaluation are important considering the divergent prognoses of myelolipoma and liposarcoma."
