context_page_description: Myelolipoma is a benign tumor-like lesion composed of mature adipose tissue and haematopoietic elements in various proportions.
  Myelolipomas can present in the adrenal gland, or outside of the gland.
context_section_description: The typical microscopic features of myelolipomas are shown in the image.  There is a mixture of normal adrenal tissue, fat, and a full trilineage maturation of the three major blood-forming elements: myeloid (white blood cell forming), erythroid (red blood cell forming), and megakaryocytic (platelet forming) lines.
