An adrenal carcinosarcoma is extremely rare with reported three cases. This neoplasm is extremely aggressive with distant metastasis arising from the sarcomatous component. A 48-year-old female was present with abdominal distention for 1 month. All laboratory studies were within normal reference range including urinary and serum corticosteroids. The tumor consist typical areas of adrenal carcinoma and sarcoma. Sarcomatous elements were identified and confirmed both immunohistochemically and ultrastructurally. After radical resection, the patient developed rapid local and distant metastatic recurrence and died three months after surgery. This is the first reported case of adrenal carcinosarcoma in korea.

In Korea chronic lymphocytic leukemia(CLL) is a rare diesase with evidence immunologic incompetence. The immunodeficiency of patients with CLL could place them at increased risk of new cancers. The incidence of secondary malignancy, including lung cancer has increased in patients with CLL and this should be also considered in the differential diagnosis of a new pulmonary infiltrate appearing in patients with known CLL. A-73-year old male patient with CLL was admitted to our hospital because of dyspnea. Chest X-ray showed multiple scattered small nodules in both lung fields and alveolar consolidation mass at right lower lung. Histopathological examination of the bronchoscopic biopsy specimen demonstrated that he had a moderatly differentiated adenacarcinoma of lung. Since we experienced a case of metachronous adenocarcinoma of lung in patient with known CLL, we report this with a review of literatures.

Placental and fetal involvement by matenal malignancy is rare. We report a case of placental metastasis from advanced gastric carcinoma in a 27 year-old woman. The patient also had disseminated bone metastasis, bone marrow involvement, malignant ascites, multiple lymphadenopathy, and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy. Cut surface of the placental body showed many, variable-sized, grayish white nodules and plaques. Light microscopic finding showed sheets of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma in intervillous spaces. Villi were not invaded. Despite palliative chemotherapy the patient died of massive gastric cancer bleeding. But the patients child is alive and doing well with age of 11 months. We suggest that the presence of malignancy in pregnancy demands complete evaluation of the placenta and adequate follow-up of the infant for the sign of involvement.
