TORRES HERRERA, Omaida F. et al. Bilateral adrenal myelolipoma associated with an endocrine dysfunction. Rev Cubana Endocrinol [online]. 2010, vol.21, n.2, pp. 154-163. ISSN 1561-2953.

Authors present a case of bilateral adrenal myelolipoma associated with a congenital adrenal hyperplasia by deficit of hydroxilase enzyme 21 in a young aged 27 who leaves the substitution treatment with cortisone acetate at 14 years old. He was asymptomatic until its hospital admission due to abdominal pain, vomiting and fever and a high abdominal tumor in left hemi-abdomen. Clinical hormonal and radiological features founded are discussed and correlated with those registered in medical literature. As far as we know, this is the first case of bilateral adrenal myelolipoma associated with an endocrine dysfunction published in Cuba.

Palabras clave : myelolipoma; incidentalomas; congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
