As the patient was experiencing right hypochondrial pain surgery was planned. After surgery, he developed a surgical site infection, which was treated with antibiotics, and his wound healed well. Excision biopsy confirmed the non-malignant nature of the tumor.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Adrenal myelolipomas are often unilateral, non-functional, and diagnosed using imaging (CT\/MRI). While radiological findings can be specific, inconclusive cases may require biopsy for confirmation. Surgical intervention is reserved for hormonally active, symptomatic, or rapidly growing myelolipomas, particularly if they exceed 5 cm.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Adrenal myelolipomas are common in adrenal glands, typically diagnosed in midlife with no gender bias. Imaging, especially CT, is effective in detecting fat components. In cases of diagnostic uncertainty, fine needle biopsy is crucial for confirmation, and surgery is considered when tumors are hormonally active, grow substantially, or cause symptoms, highlighting personalized care based on patient and imaging data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2023.109130","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,11]],"date-time":"2023-12-11T15:48:36Z","timestamp":1702309716000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Unusual discovery: Incidental diagnosis of adrenal myelolipoma, initially confused with liposarcoma, following bee sting bite, resolving chronic right hypochondrial discomfort - A case report"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"114","author":[{"given":"Balasingam","family":"Balagobi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sreekanthan","family":"Gobishangar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jathavani Mariyo Maznet","family":"Theepan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kuganathan","family":"Priyatharsan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kanagalingam","family":"Heerthikan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thangarajah","family":"Vaishnavi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"R1-44-20260325","first-page":"62","article-title":"Extra-adrenal perirenal myelolipoma.
