Abstract: Myelolipomas are uncommon, benign tumors of the adrenal gland that can occasionally attain a large size. These tumors, very rarely, can occur along with renal cell carcinoma [1]. We describe the first case of a giant right sided adrenal myelolipoma co-existent with a contralateral renal cell carcinoma, both of which could be operated laparoscopically in the same sitting.
