Adrenal Metastases are the most common malignant lesions involving the adrenal gland and the second most common tumor of the adrenal gland after benign adenomas. These metastases were primarily found on autopsy. Adrenal metastases are the most common malignant lesions Read More …

Adrenal Cancer is a rare cancer that begins in one or both of the small, triangular glands (adrenal glands) located on top of your kidneys. Adrenal glands produce hormones that give instructions to virtually every organ and tissue in your body. Adrenal cancer, also called adrenocortical cancer, can Read More …

Benign Adrenal Adenomas are benign neoplasms of the adrenal cortex. Adrenal adenomas are the most common cause of incidentally found adrenal tumors known as “adrenal incidentalomas.” Adrenal adenomas can be either hormonally active or inactive. These tumors are usually detected Read More …

Adrenal Myelolipoma with Acute Hemorrhage means the retroperitoneal hemorrhage is the most common complication occurring in adrenal myelolipoma. Isolated larger lesions (typically over 4 cm in size) and those predominantly composed of fat (greater than 50%) have a greater propensity Read More …

Isolated Adrenal Myelolipoma occurring in an otherwise normal adrenal gland are the most common pattern of presentation. They are asymptomatic and are incidentally identified during the imaging investigation performed for some other reason. Pathology Macroscopically, on autopsy the lung specimens showed Read More …

Adrenal myelolipoma is a  benign adrenal neoplasm predominantly composed of mature adipose tissue and intermixed myeloid tissue. They comprise 6-16% of adrenal incidentalomas and are the second most common cause after adrenal adenomas. The increased prevalence of adrenal myelolipomas is Read More …

Myelolipomas are uncommon, benign tumors that typically occur in the adrenal glands and consist of mature adipose tissue and benign hematopoietic components. Myelolipomas can occur outside of the adrenal glands, but the presacral region, retroperitoneum, pelvis, and mediastinum are unusual Read More …

Fibrolipoma is benign soft tissue tumors which rarely occur in the oral or maxillofacial region [rx–rx], and which have been reported to be more frequent in the buccal and vestibular mucosa [rx], whereas the location described here is somewhat unusual. Read More …
