Adrenal myelolipomas are rare benign tumors of the adrenal cortex composed of adipose and hematopoietic cells. They have been postulated to arise from repeated stimulation by stress, inflammation and ACTH oversecretion. Myelolipomas are usually detected incidentally on imaging and do not require any active intervention besides regular follow-up by imaging. However, myelolipomas may insidiously grow to large sizes and cause mass effects and hemorrhage. Timely diagnosis and surgical resection are curative and lifesaving.

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).
