"Adrenal myelolipomas are rare nonfunctioning neoplasias consisting of a variable mixture of mature fat and bone marrow tissue."( Boraschi, P; Braccini, G; Campatelli, A; Cartei, F; Di Vito, A; Gigoni, R; Perri, G, 1996)
"Myelolipoma is a rare, hormonally inactive, benign tumor consisting of fat and hematopoietic cells."( Adams, S; Liermann, D; Mruck, S, 2009)
"Adrenal myelolipomas are uncommon benign tumors, composed of mature adipose tissue and haematopoietic elements in varying proportions."( Alfaro, JJ; Atienzar, M; Botella, F; Lamas, C; López, LM; Lozano, E; Ruiz-Mondéjar, R, 2009)
"Myelolipomas are adrenal tumors composed of both adipose and hematopoietic tissues which are rarely associated with primary aldosteronism (PA)."( Arai, H; Fujii, T; Fukuda, Y; Honda, K; Inuzuka, M; Kanamoto, N; Kojima, K; Kondo, E; Mikami, Y; Miura, M; Nakao, K; Sasano, H; Sone, M; Sonoyama, T; Tamura, N; Taura, D; Ueda, Y; Yamada, G; Yamashita, Y; Yasoda, A, 2012)
