Ileovesical fistula is a rare condition in children. A case of 13 year-old female with ileovesical fistula caused by an ingested foreign material is presented. She had dysuria and lower abdominal pain for one month. There was no history of medico-surgical illness such as Crohn's disease or diverticulitis. Preoperative imaging study showed a movable calcified object in the pelvic cavity and air bubbles in the bladder. At laparotomy a bezoar-like mass was found at the antimesenteric border of the terminal ileum adherent to the dome of bladder. Segmental resection of the ileum and partial cystectomy were performed.

목 적: 난소 용적 측정 및 기저 FSH, $E_2$, CCCT 검사를 통하여 가임기 여성에서 난소 낭종 제거술후 난소 배란능의 변화를 평가하고자 하였다. 연구방법: 난소 낭종으로 내원한 환자 중 35세 이하의 여성으로서 비교적 규칙적인 생리주기를 가지며 한쪽 난소에만 낭종을 가진 22명을 대상으로 자궁내막종군과 비자궁내막종군으로 구분하여 전향적 비교 분석을 시행하였다. 질 초음파를 이용하여 수술 1개월 전과 수술 3개월 후 생리주기 3일에 난소의 용적을 측정하였다. 또한 수술 전과, 수술 후 두 번의 정상 생리가 있은 뒤 기저 FSH, $E_2$, CCCT를 시행하였다. 대상 환자 22명 중 3명은 술후 검사를 계획한 3개월 전에 임신이 됨으로써 연구대상에서 제외하였다. 결 과: 수술 후 난소 용적은 자궁내막종군에서 $4.79{\pm}2.57\;cm^3$, 비자궁내막종군 중 직경 ${\geq}10\;cm$인 경우에서 $5.21{\pm}1.33\;cm^3$로서 건측과 비교하여 유의한 감소가 있었으나, 비자궁내막종군 중 직경 <10 cm인 경우는 $6.18{\pm}2.85\;cm^3$로서 유의한 용적 감소가 없었다. 수술후 자궁내막종군의 기저 FSH는 $4.25{\pm}0.20\;mIU/ml$, CCCT 10일째 FSH는 $3.79{\pm}0.80\;mIU/ml$였고, 비자궁내막종군은 각각 $4.24{\pm}0.85\;mIU/ml$, $4.28{\pm}0.92\;mIU/ml$로서 수술 전후의 기저 FSH, CCCT 결과 비교에서 각 군 모두 유의한 차이가 없었으며, 두 군간의 비교에서도 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결 론: 자궁내막종 절제술 및 10 cm 이상의 난소 낭종 절제술 후 난소 용적은 유의한 감소를 보였으나 10 cm 미만의 난소 낭종 제거술에서는 난소 용적의 유의한 감소가 없었다. 난소 배란능을 평가하기 위하여 측정한 기저 FSH, CCCT 검사 결과는 낭종 제거술 후에도 각 군 모두 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 가임기 여성에서는 난소절제술 보다는 낭종 제거술이 우선 고려되어야 하며, 세심한 주의를 기울인다면 난소 배란능의 손상을 최소화할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Objective: To compare COH characteristics and IVF outcomes among IVF-ET patients who were treated with various therapeutic modalities for ovarian endometriomas and to propose effective pre-cyclic therapeutic modalities to improve IVF-ET outcomes in the patients with ovarian endometriomas. Methods: All cases that had undergone IVF-ET after laparoscopy between January 1997 to August 2003 were reviewed. Forty-eight patients with tubal factor were assigned to Group I. Twenty seven, 22 and 38 patients diagnosed as severe pelvic adhesion with ovarian endometriomas by laparoscopy received only medical therapy (Group II), cyst aspiration (Group III), and sclerotherapy (Group IV), respectively. Laparoscopic cystectomy was performed in 20 patients (Group V). Resistance index was measured on day administering hCG. Results: As compared with Group I, in Group II resistance index increased (p<0.05) but number of oocytes, good-quality oocyte ratio (mature and intermediate oocytes/total retrieval oocytes), fertilization rate, and embryo development rate decreased (p<0.05). In Group III fertilization rate and embryo development rate decreased (p<0.05). There was no difference between Group IV and Group I in all parameters except basal FSH which increased (p<0.05). In Group V basal FSH, and resistance increased (p<0.05) and number of oocytes and good-quality oocytes ratio decreased (p<0.05). Conclusion: Sclerotherapy is an effective therapeutic option which can be done prior to IVF-ET cycles in the patients with ovarian endometriomas. Further studies on a large scale are necessary to confirm these data.

We report a case of 53-year-old man with plasmacytold transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder, which may be confused with plasmacytoma. The patient initially presented with gross hematuria and dysuria for two months. Cystoscopy and radiologic studios revealed multiple intraluminal protruding masses on the urinary bladder invading perivesical fat tissue. After urinary cytologic examination and cystoscopic biopsy, radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissections were done. Urine cytology showed single cells and poorly cohesive cells with round eccentric nuclei, bi-or multi-nucleation, indistinct nucleoli, coarse chromatin, and abundant basophilic cytoplasm within relatively clear background. The cytologic findings of tumor cells were similar to the plasma cells seen in plasmacytoma. The tumor of the bladder was composed on discohesive, individual cancer cells with diffuse pattern that simulated lymphoma or plasmacytoma. Immunohistochemical and electron microscopic studies clearly established the epithelial nature of the neoplasm. Recognition of this plasmacytoid type of transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder can avoid the misdiagnosis.

Mature cystic teratomas, commonly called dermoid cysts, are the most common benign germ cell tumors of ovary in women of reproductive age. Mature cystic teratoma that constitutes 10-25% of ovarian tumors and 95% of teratoma, is germ cell tumor of the ovary. This occurs frequently in women less than 20 years old, but it can be found upto 10-20% in postmenopausal women. And in women over the age of 50, a mature cystic teratoma is likely to change into malignant form. Traditional surgical methods of mature cystic teratoma treatment include transabdominal cystectomy, oophorectomy, hysterectomy and(or) bilateral salphingooophorectomy. Recently laparoscopic approach replaces transabdominal surgeries in many cases. Vaginal removal of mature cystic teratoma is unique and rare. Compared with laparotomy, transvaginal approach is characterized by shorter hospital stay and lower morbidity rate. Compared with laparoscopic operation, transvaginal approach has advantages of no visible operative scar and lower intra-operative tumor spillage. The decision for surgical methods is related with patients' situations and surgeon's preference. We report 1 case of vaginal removal of mature cystic teratoma as a part of vaginal hysterectomy in old age patient.

Objective: To verify the basic preoperative evaluation in the discrimination between benign and malignant adnexal masses in our clinical practice. Materials and Methods: Data were collected on the records of 636 women with adnexal masses who had undergone surgery either by open or endoscopic approaches. Those with obvious signs of malignancy, any history of cancer, emergency surgeries without basic evaluation were excluded. The preoperative features by age, ultrasound and serum Ca125 level were compared with final histopathological diagnosis at the four departments of the institution. These are the general gynecology (Group 1: exploratory laparotomy), the gynecologic endoscopy (Group 2: laparoscopy and adnexectomy), the gynecological oncology (Group 3: staging laparotomy) and the gynecologic endocrinology and infertility (Group 4: laparoscopy and cystectomy). Results: There were simple and complex cyst rates of 22.3% and 77.2%, respectively. There were 86.3% benign, 4.1% (n:20) borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) and 6.4% (n:48) malignant lesions. There were 3 BOT and 9 ovarian cancers in Group 1 and one BOT and two ovarian cancer in the Group 2. During the surgery, 15 BOT (75%) and 37 ovarian cancer (77%) were detected in the Group 3, only one BOT was encountered in the Group 4. The risk of rate of unsuspected borderline or focally invasive ovarian cancer significantly increased by age, size, complex morphology and Ca125 (95% CI, OR=2.72, OR=6.60, OR=6.66 and OR=4.69, respectively). Conclusions: Basic preoperative evaluation by comprehensive ultrasound imaging combined with age and Ca125 level has proved highly accurate for prediction of unexpected malignancies. Neither novel markers nor new imaging techniques provide better information that allow clinicians to assess the feasibility of the planned surgery; consequently, the risk of inadvertent cyst rupture during laparoscopy may be significantly decreased in selected cases.

We reviewed 45 cases of ovarian tumors treated at Seoul National University Children's Hospital from 1983 to 1993. Forty-five patients were operated upon for 52 ovarian tumors. The most common pathologic diagnosis was mature teratoma. The next were functional cyst, the tumors of epithelial cell origin, and those of stromal origin in order of frequency. Six patients(13%) had malignant tumor. There were one malignant teratoma, two dysgerminomas, one endodermal sinus tumor, and two granulosa cell tumors. Four cases were diagnosed as torsion of ovarian cyst preoperatively, and emergency exploratory laparotomy were performed. There were three cases of ovarian tumors associated with precocious puberty. The most widely used diagnostic tool was ultrasonography. In the treatment of these 45 patients, unilateral oophorectomy was done in 38 cases, unilateral oophorectomy with wedge resection of contralateral ovary was done in 5 cases, unilateral oophorectomy with contralateral simple cystectomy was done in one case and total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingooophorectomy was done in one case. Of the six cases of malignancy, five patients are alive 2 to 6 years after operation and one case was lost to be followed up.
