Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare benign tumor, occasionally reported in association with endocrine disorders. We report herein a case of bilateral adrenal myelolipoma associated with adrenogenital syndrome caused by 21‐hydroxylase deficiency. A diagnosis of 21‐hydroxylase deficiency was confirmed by mutation analysis of the CYP21 gene. Our case represents only the second case of bilateral adrenal myelolipoma associated with adrenogenital syndrome caused by 21‐hydroxylase deficiency.
