Myelolipoma is an uncommon benign mesenchymal tumor consisting of mature adipocytes and hemopoietic elements mostly found in adrenal glands. Extra-adrenal myelolipoma occurs rarely and requires differential diagnosis with other soft tissue tumors. Here the authors present a case of a 55 years old man who underwent laparotomic surgery for three peri-renal masses. The aim of this report is to present the clinical, radiological and pathological features of an unusual retroperitoneal lesion that still represents a challenging diagnosis.

Abstract
Myelolipoma is an uncommon benign mesenchymal tumor consisting of mature adipocytes and hemopoietic elements mostly found in adrenal glands. Extra-adrenal myelolipoma occurs rarely and requires differential diagnosis with other soft tissue tumors. Here the authors present a case of a 55 years old man who underwent laparotomic surgery for three peri-renal masses. The aim of this report is to present the clinical, radiological and pathological features of an unusual retroperitoneal lesion that still represents a challenging diagnosis.File in questo prodotto:
