Abstract
Presacral myelolipoma is a rare benign tumour composed of fat and haemopoietic tissue. Ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are of help to achieve the diagnosis, but pathologic confirmation is mandatory. The Authors report an asymptomatic case whose diagnosis has been achieved by means of CT scan-guided percutaneous needle biopsy. Unnecessary surgical treatment was avoided in this case. Clinical approach and role of surgery are discussed.File in questo prodotto:
