OBJECTIVE: A patient is reported with hypertension due to combined medullary adrenal hyperplasia and myelolipoma. METHODS: A 52-year-old woman with long-standing hypertension was evaluated for an incidentally discovered large tumor of the left adrenal. Left adrenalectomy was performed for a presumptive clinical diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. RESULTS: Histopathologic examination revealed a mixed tumor consisting of a large myelolipoma with infiltrating foci of adrenal medulla. CONCLUSIONS: A patient is described with hypertension, myelolipoma and adrenal medullary hyperplasia; following adrenalectomy, however, blood pressure and biochemical abnormalities normalized. |
