Lipoleiomyoma is a rare, benign lipoid tumor of the uterus. Histologically, these tumors are composed of variable amount of smooth muscles with lobules of adipocytes separated by thin brous tissue. They primarily occur in obese postmenopausal women and often remain asymptomatic. Imaging plays a crucial role in determining the intrauterine location along with the fatty component of these tumors. Treatment of these tumors depends on the extent and severity of the patient's symptoms. Hereby, we report a case of lipoleiomyoma in a 51-year-old woman with brief review of literature

Tuberculosis is a global health problem mainly affecting people in developing countries although muscular involvement is rarely seen. Authors hereby, describe a case of tuberculosis of triceps muscle in a 35-year-old immunocompetent female who presented with swelling in right upper arm. Radiological examination ruled out involvement of underlying bones. Excision biopsy was performed and on histopathological examination cyst wall showed presence of foamy macrophages in sheets, inammatory cells and few scattered epithelioid cells but no well-formed granulomas or giant cells were seen. ZN stain for acid fast bacilli was positive. Based on the above ndings a diagnosis of tuberculosis of triceps muscle was made. The patient responded well to antituberculosis therapy and is currently on follow up.
