Myelolipoma is an uncommon benign mesenchymal tumor consisting of mature adipocytes and hemopoietic elements that is mostly found in adrenal glands. Bilateral posterior mediastinal primary myelolipoma manifests extremely rarely, and only 11 such occurrences have been previously described. With no definite symptoms, pathologic evaluation is essential for diagnosis. This report presents a case of a 63-year-old man with a diagnosis of bilateral posterior mediastinal primary myelolipoma on the basis of radiologic findings who underwent surgical resection by video-assisted thoracic surgery. The aims of this report are to show the diagnosis of an unusual mediastinal lesion and improve understanding of this disease.

Different sides of craniotomy for anteriorly superiorly projecting anterior communicating artery aneurysm clipping: outcome and long-term cognitive function: A single-center retrospective study.

Department of Neurosurgery, 904(th) Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA, Wuxi Clinical College of Anhui Medical University, Wuxi, 214044, China. Electronic address:
Background And Purpose: We explored the impact of various craniotomy approaches on the outcomes and long-term cognitive function of microsurgical clipping for superiorly projecting anterior communicating artery (ACoA) aneurysms.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 127 superiorly projected ACoA aneurysms underwent microsurgical clipping between January 2014 and January 2022. Patients were categorized into two types: type 1 (70 patients), characterized by the posterior positioning of the ipsilateral A2 segment (open A2 plane side), and type 2 (57 patients), characterized by the anterior positioning of the ipsilateral A2 segment (closed A2 plane side).

Department of Surgery, The Trauma and Orthopaedic Research Unit, The Canberra Hospital, Garran, Australian Capital Territory, Australia.
Background: Unstable posterior pelvic-ring fractures are rare and difficult to manage. There are many injury patterns, they are associated with high morbidity and mortality, and optimal surgical management remains contentions. This study aims to compare outcomes and complications for different surgical management of these injuries.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Osaka Metropolitan University Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka, Japan.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the incidence of radiological adjacent segment disease (R-ASD) at L3/4 between patients with L4/5 degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) who underwent L4/5 posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) and those who underwent microscopic bilateral decompression via a unilateral approach (MBDU) at L4/5. Our ultimate goal was to distinguish the course of natural lumbar degeneration from fusion-related degeneration while eliminating L4/5 decompression as a confounder.
Methods: Ninety patients with L4/5 DS who underwent L4/5 PLIF (n = 53) or MBDU (n = 37) and were followed for at least 5 years were retrospectively analyzed.

Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is an aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), subdivided into endemic, sporadic, and immunodeficiency-associated forms. While jaw lesions are common in endemic BL, they are infrequent in sporadic cases, only rarely constituting the first manifestation of the disease. The aim of this study is to present a rare pediatric case of sporadic BL first manifesting as gingival swellings and tooth hypermobility and provide a review of all the published sporadic BL case reports as the first sign of disease.

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is characterized by distinct histopathological changes in intracranial arteries, such as narrowing of the arterial lumen due to thickening of the tunica intima, waving of the internal elastic membranes, and thinning of the tunica media. Ring finger protein 213 is a susceptibility gene for MMD that affects clinical outcomes. However, little is known about its relationship with histopathology.
