Abstract
Background
Adrenocortical adenoma (ADA) and myelolipoma are two common benign neoplasms of the adrenal cortex that have been reported to occur together.
Case report
A 14-year-old girl presented with the features of ACTH-independent endogenous Cushing syndrome. Abdominal CECT revealed a left adrenal 2.3 × 1.8 × 1.5 cm arterially enhancing nodular lesion with central hypodensity. Histologically, this was an ADA with oncocytic change and myelolipomatous differentiation/metaplasia.
Discussion/Conclusion
ADA with myelolipomatous differentiation/metaplasia can occur in the pediatric age group.
