Obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly (OHVIRA) syndrome is an uncommon congenital abnormality of the female urogenital tract characterized by the triad of uterine didelphys, obstructed hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. A 13-year-old female presented with acute lower abdominal pain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed uterine didelphys, hematometrocolpos, obstructed hemivagina, and right ipsilateral agenesis, consistent with OHVIRA syndrome. Also, a well-defined mass with fluid signal intensity, mimicking adnexal neoplasm was seen in the right lower pelvic cavity adjacent to the posterior wall of the bladder. Vaginal septotomy and drainage of hematometrocolpos were done initially, but unilateral hysterectomy was later performed to relieve the patient's symptoms. The cystic mass in the right lower pelvic cavity was also excised and confirmed as a blind megaureter.

It was reported that the main cause of intraepithelial neoplasm and squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix is human papilloma virus infection, and that the expression of p16 is increased in cells infected by human papilloma virus. We performed an immunocytochemical staining for protein p16 in 17 cases of cervocovaginal smears initially diagnosed as atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance, to know whether the staining could help the differentiation of neoplastic cells from reactive atypical cells. Of 17 smears, 6 were diagnosed finally as high grade intraepithelial neoplasm or invasive squamous cell carcinoma by follow-up biopsy and smear, and 5 of the 6 were positive for p16. Three were diagnosed as koilocytosis, and one of them was weakly positive for p16. Eight were diagnosed as reactive atypical cells, and all of them were negative for p16. We thought that immunocytochemical staining of p16 in cervocovaginal smears could help the differentiation of neoplastic cells from reactive atypical cells.

양성 전이성 평활근종은 조직학적으로는 양성이나 임상적으로 폐나 다른 장기로 원격전이를 하는 매우 드문 질환이다. 저자들은 10년 전 자궁평활근종 절제술을 시행한 환자의 폐에서 발견된 다발성 결절 일부를 흉강경 수술하에 절제하여 조직학적 및 면역염색검사로 양성 전이성 평활근종임을 진단할 수 있었다. 환자는 수술 후 종양의 크기 변화 및 특이 증상이 없으며 특별한 치료 없이 외래 추적관찰 중이다.

중신 유사 선종은 2020년 World Health Organization 분류체계에서 자궁내막암의 한 아형으로 새롭게 분류되었고, 드물기 때문에 잘 알려지지 않은 질환이다. 저자들이 아는 한, 영어 문헌에서 영상의학적 소견은 아직 보고된 바 없다. 자궁의 중신 유사 선종은 일반적인 자궁내막암에 비해 예후가 좋지 않고 더 공격적인 생물학적 양상을 보인다. 저자들은 65세 여성의 자궁 체부에 생긴 중신 유사 선종의 영상의학적 소견에 대하여 보고하고자 한다. 자궁내막 고형 종괴가 심부 자궁근 침범을 보였고, 조영 증강은 잘되지 않았고 중등도의 확산제한을 보였다.

Cerebrovascular disease have been replaced by neoplasm as first cause of death on 1980's. So, many epidemiological studies on cancer have been reported. However, most of them were performed on beses of biopy data or of histological examination. We had reported that valuable results could be obtained from surgical data for cancer patients, previously. In this paper, 5,103 surgically treated cancer patients in Daegu-Kyungbuk area during 1985-1989 were analyzed in terms of sex, age and organ. Mean age on male cancer patients was increased, but in the case of female, the trend of age distribution is inverse to other reports. It is considered as regional specificity to cancer incidence and it is due to higher frequency of breast and uterine cervical cancer than other areas. Especially, in the case of breast cancer, the mean age of patients was 30's and be considered as most dangerous cancer to famale.

자궁 경부암의 위 전이는 매우 드물며, 소수의 증례만이 영문 문헌에서 보고되었다. 자궁경부 위형 점액샘암종은 드문 아형의 점액샘암종이다. 위형 점액샘암종은 진행성 암에서 발견되는 공격적인 암이지만, 위로의 전이는 보고된 바 없다. 저자들은 61세 여성의 자궁경부 위형 점액샘암종이 위 날문방에 전이된 증례를 보고하며 위 전이 및 자궁경부 점액샘암종의 영상의학적 소견을 서술하고자 한다. 위 전이는 조영증강이 잘되지 않는 점막 하 종괴로 보였다. 점액샘암종은 조영증강이 잘되지 않는 침윤성 종괴로 보였다. 확산강조영상에서는 경도의 고신호강도를 보였고 겉보기확산계수 지도에서는 낮은 값을 보였다. 이 사례는 매우 드물며 진단이 어렵지만, 자궁경부암의 유형이 사람유두종바이러스 비의존 위형 점액샘암종이며 동시에 위의 점막 하 병변이 발견된 경우, 우리 사례와 유사한 패턴의 전이 가능성을 고려할 수 있다.

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare, locally aggressive vascular tumor of intermediate malignancy with resemblance to Kaposi sarcoma. It occurs predominantly in pediatric age groups as a cutaneous lesion with focal infiltration into the adjacent soft tissue and bone. Although visceral involvement is very uncommon, several cases with bone, retroperitoneal, or mediastinal involvement have been described. KHE has been reported to occasionally occur in unusual sites such as the thymus, tonsils, larynx, paranasal sinuses, deltoid muscle, spleen, uterine cervix, thoracic spine, and even the breast. Multifocal KHE is an extremely rare entity with few reports available in the literature, none of which describes pulmonary involvement. Herein, we report a unique case of multifocal KHE in a 13-year-old boy presenting with a huge soft tissue mass in the upper extremity complicated by bilateral pulmonary nodules that developed into large, necrotic tumor masses.

Percutaneous osteoplasty (POP) is defined as the injection of bone cement into various painful bony lesions, refractory to conventional therapy, as an extended technique of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP). POP can be applied to benign osteochondral lesions and malignant metastatic lesions throughout the whole skeleton, whereas PVP is restricted to the vertebral body. Common spinal metastases occur in the thoracic (70%), lumbosacral (20%), and cervical (10%) vertebrae, in order of frequency. Extraspinal metastases into the ribs, scapulae, sternum, and humeral head commonly originate from lung and breast cancers; extraspinal metastases into the pelvis and femoral head come from prostate, urinary bladder, colon, and uterine cervical cancers. Pain is aggravated in the dependent (or weight bearing) position, or during movement (or respiration). The tenderness and imaging diagnosis should match. The supposed mechanism of pain relief in POP is the augmentation of damaged bones, thermal and chemical ablation of the nociceptive nerves, and local inhibition of tumor invasion. Adjacent (facet) joint injections may be needed prior to POP (PVP). The length and thickness of the applied needle should be chosen according to the targeted bone. Bone cement is also selected by its osteoconduction, osteoinduction, and osteogenesis. Needle route should be chosen as a shortcut to reach the target bony lesions, without damage to the nerves and vessels. POP is a promising minimally invasive procedure for immediate pain relief. This review provides a technical survey for POPs in painful bony lesions.

평활근육종은 평활근육세포에서 기원하는 연부조직 육종이다. 평활근육종은 자궁에 흔하게 발생하지만 후복막강, 복강 그리고 혈관조직에도 발생할 수 있다. 자궁 또는 혈관에서 기원하는 평활근육종이 심장에 전이된 증례는 많이 보고되었으나, 내장 외 연부조직에서 생긴 평활근육종은 매우 드물게 발생하며 심장으로의 전이는 더욱 드문 것으로 알려져 있다. 이에 좌측 측복부에서 우심실로 전이된 평활근육종의 심초음파 소견과 조영증강 컴퓨터단층촬영소견을 경험하여 보고하고자 한다.

Objective: The aim of this study was to report a case series of in vitro matured (IVM) oocyte freezing in gynecologic cancer patients undergoing radical surgery under time constraints as an option for fertility preservation (FP). Methods: Case series report. University-based in vitro fertilization center. Six gynecologic cancer patients who were scheduled to undergo radical surgery the next day were referred for FP. The patients had endometrial (n=2), ovarian (n=3), and double primary endometrial and ovarian (n=1) cancer. Ex vivo retrieval of immature oocytes from macroscopically normal ovarian tissue was followed by mature oocyte freezing after IVM or embryo freezing with intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Results: A total of 53 oocytes were retrieved from five patients, with a mean of 10.6 oocytes per patient. After IVM, a total of 36 mature oocytes were obtained, demonstrating a 67.9% maturation rate. With regard to the ovarian cancer patients, seven IVM oocytes were frozen from patient 3, who had stage IC cancer, whereas one IVM oocyte was frozen from patient 4, who had stage IV cancer despite being of a similar age. With regard to the endometrial cancer patients, 15 IVM oocytes from patient 1 were frozen. Five embryos were frozen after the fertilization of IVM oocytes from patient 6. Conclusion: Immature oocytes can be successfully retrieved ex vivo from macroscopically normal ovarian tissue before radical surgery. IVM oocyte freezing provides a possible FP option in patients with advanced-stage endometrial or ovarian cancer without the risk of cancer cell spillage or time delays.
