Myelolipoma as the name suggests it comprises of hemopoietic elements (erythrocytes, leukocytes megakaryocytes) and adipose tissue. Most commonly it arises from adrenal gland. Mostly these masses are non-functional and benign in nature. Due to their large sizes or spontaneous haemorrhage which produces symptoms or they found incidentally (incidentaloma) during routine ultrasonographic examination of the abdomen. In this case report of a large myelolipoma in a 53-year-old male patient is discussed which is associated with large staghorn calculus with hydronephrosis of opposite kidney. Differential diagnosis of the adrenal tumour includes hormonal assessment and more sophisticated imaging techniques such as CT or MRI in order to investigate the morphology of the tumour.
