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, inammatory 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.
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
