case_images: CT (MDCT) was performed to evaluate the mass. Contrast-enhanced CT scan (CECT) revealed a well-defined, round lesion with central soft tissue attenuation (38-42 HU), and peripheral fat attenuation (-52 to -65 HU) measuring 6.1 x 4.0 cm was noted in the right suprarenal region (Figure 1).

case_images: Cut surface revealed a solid tumor with a variegated appearance of dark brown and yellowish areas (Figure 2).
case_images: Microscopic appearance of adrenal myelolipoma. Typical histological features of myelolipoma comprising varying proportions of adipose tissue admixed with areas of hematopoietic tissue (H&E stain, x40).
