Adrenal myelolipomas are rare benign tumors comprising mature adipose tissue and diverse hematopoietic elements. These neoplasms are usually incidental findings, although bulky masses can generate abdominal pain as well as other symptoms related to compression of adjacent organs. Diagnosis is usually provided by ultrasonography or computed tomography. Asymptomatic patients with tumors with a maximum diameter of less than 6cm can benefit from periodic surveillance, whereas local compression symptoms and size larger than 6cm are indications for surgical treatment. We present a case of giant adrenal myelolipoma and provide a review of the literature.

Article Synopsis
- - This study examined the effects of endoscopic transnasal pituitary adenoma surgery on pituitary function and aimed to identify factors that influence postoperative outcomes.
- - An analysis of 306 patients' data revealed varying rates of postoperative hypopituitarism among different hormone axes, with the pituitary-thyroid and adrenal axes showing higher incidence rates post-surgery.
- - Results indicated that larger tumors (giant adenomas) had a significantly greater impact on adrenal function, while no substantial difference in new hypopituitarism rates was observed after surgery between different tumor sizes.

Concurrent tubercular involvement of two or more non-contiguous organs is termed disseminated tuberculosis (TB) and is rare in immunocompetent patients. We describe the case of a young immunocompetent woman with disseminated TB who presented with primary complaints of amenorrhea and dysuria. Abdominal ultrasound showed a uterine cervical mass, which on histopathological evaluation revealed epithelioid granulomata with Langhans giant cells and acid-fast bacilli (AFB).
