  • Title: Embolization for spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage from adrenal myelolipoma.
    Author: Nakajo M, Onohara S, Shinmura K, Fujiyoshi F, Nakajo M.
    Journal: Radiat Med; 2003; 21(5):214-9. PubMed ID: 14632297.
    Abstract:
    Adrenal myelolipoma is a benign tumor composed of fat and bone marrow tissues and is usually found incidentally. Spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage from this tumor is rare. To our knowledge, there have been only 11 reported cases of ruptured adrenal myelolipoma in the literature. We report a 37-year-old female patient who underwent transcatheter arterial embolization using gelatin sponge particles for retroperitoneal hemorrhage from adrenal myelolipoma, 8x6x6 cm in size. This case, which is the second in the literature, illustrates the usefulness of embolization to achieve hemostasis prior to subsequent tumor resection.
