Résumé

Adrenal myelolipomas are benign neoplasms consisting of hematopoietic
cellular elements and adipose tissue. They are uncommon,
found in 0.4% to 1% of the population at autopsy. Extraadrenal
myelolipomas (EM) are extremely rare with fewer than
50 cases reported. We describe the first case of bilateral EM of
the renal sinus. They are difficult to diagnose on imaging alone
when arising in this location and biopsies may not yield a definitive
answer. Management options include both conservative and
surgical approaches depending upon the certainty of the diagnosis,
progression of the patient’s symptoms and evidence of growth.
