Activity Description

Adrenal myelolipomas represent benign adrenal neoplasms primarily consisting of mature adipose tissue intertwined with myeloid tissue. They constitute a noteworthy portion, ranging from 6% to 16%, of adrenal incidentalomas, emerging as the second most frequent etiology following adrenal adenomas. These lesions can exhibit functional or nonfunctional characteristics, adding a layer of complexity to their clinical evaluation and management.

This continuing education activity is designed to provide a comprehensive review of the assessment and treatment of adrenal myelolipomas. Additionally, it emphasizes the crucial role of the interprofessional healthcare team in recognizing and effectively managing patients with adrenal myelolipomas. By enhancing our collective understanding of these lesions and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, we can optimize patient care, refine diagnostic strategies, and tailor treatment plans to individual patient needs. 


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Differentiate between adrenal myelolipomas and other adrenal lesions through a standardized diagnostic approach, taking into account size, symptomatology, and risk factors to guide appropriate management decisions.

  • Screen patients with suspected adrenal myelolipomas for hormonal hypersecretion, employing relevant laboratory tests to identify potential endocrine abnormalities associated with these neoplasms.

  • Implement evidence-based guidelines for the surgical resection of adrenal myelolipomas, considering criteria such as neoplasm growth, size, symptomatic pain or mass effect, suspicion of malignancy, or hormonal hypersecretion.

  • Coordinate long-term follow-up care for patients with adrenal myelolipomas with primary care providers and other team members, including regular monitoring and timely intervention as necessary.

  • Outline the pharmacologic therapy as it applies to Adrenal Myelolipoma
