The imprint cytologic features of a myelolipoma of the adrenal glands are reported. The patient, a 42-year-old man, noticed abdominal fullness and pain in the left upper quadrant. The imprint smear of the surgically resected tumor consisted of loosely cohesive groups of mature adipose tissues and isolated hematopoietic tissues containingerythroid, granulocytic and megakaryocytic elements. Histologic sections revealed a mass composed largely of mature adipose tissue with scattered hematopoietic tissue containing erythroid, granulocytic and megakaryocytic elements. Cytological examination of the megakaryocytic elements confirmed the diagnosis of myelolipoma of the adrenal gland, emphasizing the usefulness of cytology.
