A case of giant symptomatic myelolipoma is described in which clinical differentiation was difficult. It was considered to be an extremely rare case of glant myelolipoma arising in the adrenal gland. Histologically the present case contained more lipornatous elements than others reported to date. This is a case of giant adrenal myelolipoma with a few foci of myeloid elements and it is suggested that this case has a true neoplastic nature rather than a hyperplastic or metaplastic one.
