A 49-year-old woman presented with a 2-year history of back pain. An abdominal computed tomography revealed a 15.0 × 12.0 cm hypodense lesion in the posterior right lobe of her liver. A right hepatic lobectomy was performed, which revealed a well-demarcated lipomatous tumor that microscopically proved to be a myelolipoma. Our case together with 10 other well-documented cases showed the median age of the patients as 55 years (range, 40-69), a predilection for the female gender, and the right lobe of the liver as the most commonly involved site.
