Abstract: Adrenal myelolipoma with hyperandrogenemia is extremely rare. We report
a case of a 26-year-old Chinese female with schizophrenia, who presented with a
hormonally active tumor causing hyperandrogenemia. The mass was found by
computerized tomography when she had her gynecologic examination for
secondary amenorrhea, and it was confirmed to be an adrenal myelolipoma
after a histopathological study. She was referred for a left adrenal
laparoscopic excision, and the size of adrenal myelolipoma was found to be more
than 10 cm. We report this case because large adrenal myelolipomas with
hyperandrogenemia and schizophrenia are rare, and adrenal myelolipoma
associated with hyperandrogenemia might be determined by the enzymes involved
in the production of hormones.
