Aim-BackgroundAdrenal myelolipoma is a rare hormonally inactive benign neoplasm arising from the adrenal cortex. Traditionally, laparoscopic removal of an adrenal tumour > 5-6 cm in size is contraindicated. In the case presented herein, a 15 cm myelolipoma by was removed by laparoscopy. The aim of the present presentation is to show that the laparoscopic resection of a giant benign adrenal tumour larger than 6 cm in size is feasible.
