[Adrenal myelolipoma: our experience and a review].

Four additional cases of adrenal myelolipoma that had been treated at our hospital are reported. All patients were male, aged 31-59 years. The largest diameter of the tumor ranged from 7-10 cm. Only one of the cases was symptomatic (arterial hypertension). In the remaining 3 patients with unremarkable clinical findings, the tumor and been detected incidentally during patient evaluation with CT and ultrasound (US) for other pathologies. Treatment was by surgery for the symptomatic case. For the remaining 3 patients, we adopted a conservative approach that included regular CT or US control evaluation. Treatment of this tumor type continues to be a controversy. Our therapeutic approach is described and the literature reviewed.
