Seven cases of adrenal myelolipoma comprising 5.8% of total adrenal tumors are described with a male-to-female ratio of 1.3:1. Five were symptomatic, of which 4 had a palpable abdominal mass, 2 cases detected incidentally were associated with carcinoma of the uterine cervix and renal cell carcinoma, respectively. The average age and duration of symptoms at presentation were 56 years (range 38-70 years) and 3.16 months (range 1-9 months). A CT scan was done in all cases, of which 5 showed a nonenhancing mass lesion with fat density diagnosed as adrenal myelolipoma. However, in 1 case radiological diagnosis of liposarcoma was maintained because of the huge size of the lesion whereas in another case the lesion was missed because of associated renal cell carcinoma. Interestingly the right adrenal was involved in all cases and the weight varied from 7 to 2,000 g. No recurrence was noted in the follow-up period (ranging from 3 months to 10 years).
