Résumé

Adrenal myelolipoma is a slow-growing tumour, composed of fatty tissue and haematopoietic elements, typically non-secretory, although a low percentage is associated with endocrine pathology. We present the case of a 35-year-old man who, during the study of resistant arterial hypertension, was diagnosed with a large adrenal incidentaloma with an image congruent with adrenal myelolipoma, whose analytical determinations were anodyne, suggesting a non-functioning adenoma. After surgical resection, the anatomopathological study of the mass revealed pheochromocytoma cells, which produce catecholamines and are responsible for the patient's high blood pressure resistance.
