Adenomatoid tumors are rare, benign mesotheliomas that usually are associated with genito-urinary tract. The suprarenal occurrence of this tumor is uncommon. We present such a case and review the origin of the adenomatoid tumor.
A 50-year-old man had progressive, noninflammatory myopathy associated with a persistently elevated serum creatine kinase (CK) level and CK MB fraction. Possible sources of this serum CK MB include cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, other organ sites, or occult malignant neoplasm. In our patient, lack of significant cardiovascular disease and absence of CK MB in skeletal muscle homogenate suggest another, undetermined source for serum CK MB.
