Abstract

We present two symptomatic cases of adrenal myelolipoma with good evolution 24 and 14 months after surgery. We discuss the clinical characteristics of these tumours and diagnostic methods, of which CAT seems to be the most effective. In therapy we single out the need for surgery in those that are of large size and without accompanying symptomatology owing to the risk of spontaneous hemorrhaging or subsequent to traumatism, as well as in those displaying clinical symptoms. In small asymptomatic ones, discovered incidentally, we will carry out periodic observation with controls by CAT and/or echography.
