Extraperitoneal inguinal endometriosis often presents as an inguinal mass in women of reproductive age, Approximately 40 cases of inguinal endometriosis have been documented in the sutgical and gynecological literature. The overall incidence is in the range of 0.4% of patients with endometriosis. The right side is much more commonly involved than the left (almost 90% of the time in one series of 23 patients), and rarely is the condition bilateral. The most frequent complaint of patients with inguinal endometriosis is an inguinal mass, followed by pain and enlargement of the mass near menstruation. Authors have experienced two cases of endometriosis of the extraperitoneal portion of the round ligament of uterus and report with a brief literature review.

Primary sarcomas of the uteriae cerrix are exceedingly rare neoplasms. They comprise less than 1 percent of all cancers, with an incidence of 0.2 to 0.4 percent of those originating in the cervix. Indeed, only 19 cases of primary cervical leiomyosarcomas have been reported in the English literature. We have recently experienced one case of leiomyosarcoma arising from the cervix in a 40-year-old woman. Therefore, we the case with a brief review of the literature.

Glassy cell carcinoma (GCC) of the uterine cervix is a rare and highly malignant tumor, accounting for only 1%~2% of all cervical carcinomas. It is typically composed of malignant cells having a moderate amount of cytoplasm with "ground glass" appearance, distinct cell membranes that stain with eosin or periodic acid-Schiff, and large nuclei with prominent nucleoli. Since its original description in 1956 by Glucletmann and Cherry, 200 - 250 cases of GCC of the uterine cervix have been listed in the literature. We report here the clinicopathological study of one case of glassy cell carcinoma with brief review of the literature.

Although intramedullary nailing is mostly used in the management of fractures in the long bone shaft, plate fixation is still alternative option in periprosthetic or metaphyseal fractures. For the rigid fixation during plating, sometimes we need wiring. Many surgeons experience slippage of wire resulting in loss of rigid fixation because plate and wire is so slippery and the diameter of bone is changing by level especially in the metaphyseal area. Wiring plate(CHO plate) was designed to prevent slippage. This plate has transverse holes for wires between screw holes on traditionally used dynamic compression plate. Sixteen fractures of long bone shaft were fixed with wiring plate and 11 cases which were followed up for more than one year were evaluated. There were periprosthetic fractures(4 cases), spiral or butterfly fractures(4 cases) and fractures of poor bone quality(two cases of malignancy and one case of osteoporosis). Nine cases were successfully reduced and the healed without loss of fixation. In two cases, delayed union and nonunion were observed due to wire breakage with plate loosening. Preliminarily, wiring plate fixation can be used for the periprosthetic fracture and one of alternative option in butterfly or spiral fracture and fracture in osteoporotic bone or pathologic fracture.

The effect of epidural morphine on the mean inspired concentration of isoflurane was inves- tigated in 34 patients undergoing hepatoma surgery, The patients were randomly assigned to the control(CTRL), epidural morphine(MORP) or epidural bupivacaine(BUPI) groups. Before induction of anesthesia, epidural catheter was inserted beween T6-10 intervertebral space in the right lateral decubitus position. MORP group(n=13) received morphine sulfate 4 mg in 4 ml normal saline and BUPI group(n=10) received 0.5% bupivacame 10 md through epidural eatheter. CTRL group(n=11) wss treated in an identical fashion except that, after placement of epidural catheter, nothing was injected. After endotracheal intubation, general anesthesia was maintained during surgery with oxygen-nitrous oxide(1:1 ratio) and isoflurane. Inspired concentration of isoflurane was adjusted to maintain blood pressure in the range of blood pressure at the ward during surgery. Mean inspired concentration of isoflurane was monitored from incision to last skin suture. Mean inspired concentration of isoflurane(+/-SD) of CTRL, MORP and BUPI group was 1.41+/-0.36, 1.52+/-0.39 and 0.37+/-0.16 vol%, respectively. There was no difference in mean inspired concentration of isoflurane between CTRL and MORP group. Under the condition of this study, epidural morphine did not reduce inspired concentration of isoflurane during surgery even though epidural morphine is effective for post operative pain control.

PURPOSE: F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has been proven to be useful in the differential diagnosis of breast mass and staging of breast cancer. This study assessed the diagnostic accuracy of F-18-FDG PET in the differentiation of breast mass and staging of breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Total 42 patients who had breast mass underwent F-18-FDG PET (all female, 40+/-10 year old). We compared F-18 FDG PET results with pathologic findings in 24 patients RESULTS: In the differentiation of breast mass, sensitivity and specificity were 95% (19/20) and 77% (7/9) respectively. Three false positive cases were due to inflammation and one false negative patient had small tumor less than 1 cm. In the assessment of axillary lymph node status, sensitivity and specificity were 73% (8/11) and 100% (7/7) respectively. We found distant metastasis that were not suspected before F-18-FDG PET in 2 patients. CONCLUSION: F-18-FDG PET shows good diagnostic performance in differentiation of breast mass and staging of breast cancer.

Routine use of the IVP in preoperative evaluation of patients with obstructive bladder outlet symptoms has been questioned on the basis of the chance of incidental finding in the upper tract and the implication of such findings to management. We studied 220 patients who underwent intravenous pyelography before prostatectomy at Department of Urology, Sanggye Paik Hospital from Oct. 1989 to Jun 1992. Of 220 patients, 183( 83.2% ) showed normal upper tract with cystogram compatible with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Abnormalities were found in 37( 16.8% ) patients but treatment plan was altered in only 5(2.25% ) cases. Most of these abnormalities could be detected on KUB or cystoscopy. Only one(0.45% ) malignancy would have been missed without routine IVP. We conclude that IVP in our opinion should not be performed as a routine procedure in patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy, but only in selected cases.
