Perirenal extra-adrenal myelolipoma.
[liposarcoma]
Myelolipomas
are
rare
tumors
consisting
of
both
adipose
and
hematopoietic
tissue
and
are
typically
found
within
the
adrenal
gland
.
Extra
-
adrenal
involvement
is
rare
,
especially
those
tumors
involving
the
perirenal
space
and
collecting
system
.
We
report
a
case
of
a
patient
with
an
incidentally
discovered
perirenal
mass
that
was
initially
concerning
for
a
retroperitoneal
liposarcoma
.
Following
surgical
resection
and
pathological
analysis
,
the
lesion
was
found
to
be
an
extra
-
adrenal
myelolipoma
.
This
case
report
and
review
of
the
literature
demonstrates
the
importance
of
the
proper
work-up
and
management
of
perirenal
lipoma
variants
while
addressing
the
issues
of
tissue
biopsy
,
surgical
intervention
,
and
pre-
and
post-operative
surveillance
.
