We present a unique case of metachronous adrenal and hepatic myelolipomas in a 62-year-old man. Myelolipomas are most commonly found in the adrenal gland, with extra-adrenal sites such as the lung, retroperitoneum and liver reported. They are a form of benign mesenchymal tumour, with only 25 case reports of a hepatic location published to date. The are no guidelines to its management. Our patient underwent resection due to pain, and after a complicated postoperative period is pain free.
