Myelolipoma is a rare benign tumor that is usually asymptomatic, one-sided as a rule and hormonally inactive. It consists of mature adipose tissue with inclusion of hematopoietic cells. Most often it occurs in the adrenal gland. Patients with incidentally identified myelolipoma require careful examination in order to plan optimal management tactics. Using highly informative methods of radiodiagnostics (ultrasound, CT, MRI) allows to establish the correct diagnosis in most cases. Currently, the choice of the optimal survey algorithm, which allows not only to diagnose myelolipoma, but also to differentiate it from malignant tumors of adrenal glands, has not lost its relevance. The issues of follow-up of these patients, indications for surgery and methods of surgical interventions are also relevant.
