Researchers at Transilvania University conducted a literature review on giant adrenal myelolipomas, which are rare benign tumors that can grow to sizes greater than 10 cm in diameter. These tumors are often discovered incidentally during imaging studies for other conditions and do not typically spread to other parts of the body. The study found that only 15 cases of truly giant adrenal myelolipomas have been reported between 1981 and 2023, highlighting the rarity of these tumors. The research emphasizes the importance of imaging techniques and histopathological examinations in accurately diagnosing and treating giant myelolipomas. [Extracted from the article]

A recent research report from the University College of Medical Sciences and GTB Hospital in Delhi, India, discusses a rare case of a 22-year-old female with a catecholamine-secreting adrenal myelolipoma (AML) who did not have hypertension. AML is a benign neoplasm of the adrenal gland composed of fat and myeloid components, and most cases are asymptomatic and non-secretory. The patient in this case had an elevated urine normetanephrine level but normal blood pressure. After undergoing adrenalectomy, her urine normetanephrine levels returned to normal. This case is unique because it is the first reported instance of catecholamine secretion by AML in a normotensive patient. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by the Department of Radiology focused on myelolipomas, a rare condition with no obvious symptoms. The study aimed to summarize the imaging features of mediastinal myelolipomas by reviewing 26 articles and analyzing 26 patients with 33 lesions. The findings revealed that the majority of lesions were located in the mediastinum, with a significant proportion in the right posterior mediastinum. The study also found that most lesions exhibited mild to moderate enhancement after contrast medium injection, contained fat density, and had clear boundaries and regular shapes. Only a small percentage of lesions contained calcification. The study concluded that an inhomogeneous mass in the right posterior mediastinum near the spine, including fat density, is the primary imaging marker for mediastinal myelolipomas.

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]

A recent study conducted by researchers at Pusan National University Hospital in Busan, South Korea, focused on giant adrenal myelolipomas, which are rare, benign, and hormonally inactive tumors. The study presented the case of a 53-year-old man with a 19-cm retroperitoneal mass, initially suspected to be a different type of tumor. After conducting endocrine assessments and confirming the diagnosis of adrenal myelolipoma, the researchers performed surgical excision using a modified Makuuchi incision. The tumor was successfully removed, and the patient experienced no complications or disease recurrence after one year. The study concluded that the modified Makuuchi incision is an efficient and safe method for removing giant myelolipomas through open surgery. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted at Banaras Hindu University in Varanasi, India, focused on myelolipomas, which are rare benign tumors consisting of mature adipose tissues and hematopoietic tissues. These tumors are typically found incidentally during imaging for other reasons. The study found that adrenal myelolipomas have an incidence rate of 0.08 to 0.4% and make up 15% of all adrenal incidentalomas. The researchers presented a unique case of a 24-year-old patient with a 5 kg right adrenal myelolipoma, which was successfully treated with right adrenalectomy. The study also reviewed articles published in Indian literature on the topic. [Extracted from the article]

Research from the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center has provided new insights into the role of inflammation and the hormonal environment in the development of adrenal myelolipomas (AML) in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). AMLs are tumors composed of mature adipose and hematopoietic components and are commonly found in patients with CAH. The study found that CAH-affected adrenal tissue and myelolipomas showed increased expression of inflammatory cells, stem cells, B cells, and adipogenic markers. In vitro studies also revealed the differential expression of genes involved in cell cycle progression and tumorigenesis. The findings suggest that inflammation and the hormonal milieu play an important role in the development of AML in CAH. [Extracted from the article]
