摘要
Myelolipomas are benign tumors, histologically consisting of an admixture of mature adipose tissue and normal hematopoietic elements. It is most commonly found in the adrenal glands. Extra-adrenal myelolipomas are rare. Due to the rarity of this entity, exposure to and awareness of the cytological characteristics are limited. We report a case of intra-abdominal extra-adrenal myelolipoma diagnosed by fine needle aspiration (FNA) in a 67-year-old female, and review of relevant English literature. Knowledge of the cytological features of myelolipoma will avoid mistaking this benign tumor as malignant.
