Functioning adrenal myelolipoma: A rare cause of hypertension.

[adrenal incidentaloma]

Co -occurrence of adrenal incidentaloma with hypertension calls for evaluation of endocrine causes including pheochromocytoma , Cushing 's disease , and primary aldosteronism . We are reporting 40 -years -old man who presented with hypertension and adrenal mass . He had elevated metanephrines , histology of resected adrenal mass revealed adrenal myelolipoma , and immuno-histochemistry was positive for chromogranin A . Both his blood pressure and urinary metanephrines returned to normal after surgery . The association of hypertension and adrenal myelolipoma may not be entirely coincidental , as it may be associated with secreting catecholamine . Literature on such an uncommon association is reviewed briefly as well .
