Answer 1

Adrenal myelolipomas are rare and benign they are made up mainly form adipose tissue. The primary complication, which is uncommon, is spontaneous rupture of the mass, causing retroperitoneal hemorrhage. Rupture and hemorrhage also can occur following blunt trauma.

Adrenal adenomas are also benign, but they are common and wont hurt you or rupture.
