and it also can be found in extra-adrenal area. However, intraosseous myelolipoma is extremely rare. The etiology of this tumor is
unclear but some hypothesis proposed that altered mesenchymal stem cell functioning and hormonal events act together in the pathogenesis
of myelolipoma. With radiographic view, myelolipoma shows similar characteristics of other fat-containing tumors. The histopathologic
examination is necessary for the definite diagnosis. This case report includes a patient with intraosseous myelolipoma of maxilla and
mandible and literature review about the clinical, histopathologic, and radiologic features of myelolipoma.
