== Myelolipoma ==

* Rare, benign, metabolically silent lesions
* Possess tissue components identical to healthy bone marrow
* '''In the majority of cases, diagnosis of myelolipoma can be made accurately on cross-sectional imaging'''
** '''Usual enhancement on CT is between -30 and -140 Hounsfield Units  '''
* '''The NIH consensus panel on adrenal incidentaloma concluded that myelolipoma can be regarded as an exception to the mandatory metabolic workup of a newly discovered adrenal mass'''
* Classically asymptomatic myelolipomas are treated conservatively; surgery is indicated only for extremely large or symptomatic lesions.
