Adrenal Myelolipoma Presenting with Spontaneous Rupture and Retroperitoneal Hemorrhage: A Case Report

Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare, benign, and nonfunctioning tumor, which is generally small and asymptomatic and incidentally discovered at autopsy or on radiological examination. In rare cases, large tumors can produce symptoms due to their mass effect or spontaneous rupture with hemorrhage. We repor...
