A rare case of perirenal myelolipoma. Diagnostic approach and therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
A very rare case of perirenal myelolipoma and the problems of differential diagnosis are reported. The non-specificity of, and sometimes even the lack of, radiological and haematological data prevents physicians from preoperatively excluding a malignant neoplasm with a certain degree of confidence. Surgical exploration remains a compulsory step in myelolipoma management and its simple removal seems to be the therapy of choice.
