Leiomyomas of the vagina are rare benign solid tumors. A leiomyoma arises frommuscle in the round ligament and appears as a firm movable tumor deep in the substanceof the labium majus, but minority of these tumors occur in vaginal wall. A case of a 39year old woman with leiomyoma of the vaginal orifice was reported with a brief review ofliterature.

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.

Uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign uterine tumor. They may be subserosal, intramural, or submucosal in location within the uterus or located in the cervix, in the broad ligament, or on a pedicle. But leiomyoma of the round ligament of the uterus is a rare condition occurring predominantly in premenopausal middle-age women, which is usually single and unilateral. In 50% of patients, they are associated with similar lesion of the uterus. Recently we have experienced a case of large cystic myxoid leiomyoma of the round ligament of the uterus misdiagnosed as an ovarian tumor in 32 year-old multiparous woman. We report this case with a brief review of literatures.

In females, a small evagination of parietal peritoneum accompanies the round ligament through the inguinal ring into the inguinal canal and is called the canal of Nuck; it is homologous to the process vaginalis in males. If it fails to undergo complete obliteration, an indirect inguinal hernia or a hydrocele of the canal of Nuck can occur. We report three cases of this rare developmental disorder, discuss the CT findings and its use in the diagnosis of a hydrocele of the canal of Nuck.

A preduodenal portal vein is a rare anomaly. A left-sided gallbladder is also a rare anatomical variant that may be occasionally combined with a preduodenal portal vein. We report here a patient with multiple biliary stones whose preduodenal portal vein was discovered at operation. The anomaly was a preduodenal portal vein associated with a left-sided gallbladder, which is very rare. This is the first case reported in Korea. An abnormal location of the round ligament to the right side can make the gallbladder appear to be a left-sided gallbladder. Our case belongs to this category. This patient had multiple biliary stones in the intrahepatic duct, the common bile duct, and the gallbladder. We treated him with a cholecystec tomy, choledochotomy, and choledochoscopic stone extraction using a basket, and electrohydraulic lithotripter. All procedures were done using a laparoscopic method. The patient was treated well with no complication.

PURPOSE: On the basis of CT findings, to differentiate between solid ovarian tumor and uterine subserosalmyoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In eight surgically proven cases of solid ovarian tumor and in ten uterinesubserosal myoma patients, contrast-enhanced CT images were obtained. Two genitourinary radiologists reviewed thefindings with regard to degree of enhancement of the mass as compared with enhancement of uterine myometrium,thickening of round ligaments, visualization of normal ovaries, contour of the mass, and the presence of ascitesin the pelvic cavity. RESULTS: Six of eight ovarian tumors but only two of ten uterine myomas were less enhancedthan normal uterine myometrium (p <0.05). Pelvic ascites were seen in six of eight ovarian tumors, but in only oneof ten uterine myomas (p<0.05). Three of 16 ovaries in ovarian tumor patients, but 12 of 20 ovaries in uterinemyoma patients, were normal (p<0.05). Six of 16 round ligaments of the uterus in ovarian tumor patients, were thichened but 11 of 20 round ligaments in uterine myoma patients, were thickened (p>0.05). The contour of themass was lobulated in two of eight ovarian tumor patients, but in five of ten uterine myoma patients (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: CT findings suggestive of solid ovarian tumor were less contrast enhancement of the mass than ofnormal uterine myometrium, pelvic ascites, and nonvisualization of normal ovary.

Myolipoma is a rare biphasic, benign neoplasm that consists of mature adipocytes and smooth muscle cells. It is well-demarcated, with a soft to slimy yellow-white cut surface. Clinically it most often occurs within soft tissue in the abdominal cavity or retroperitoneum, but other locations such as the round ligaments, pericardium, and eyelid have been reported. We herein report a rare case of myolipoma which arose on the right upper lip area in a 68-year-old female.

Round ligament varicosities during pregnancy are rare, and can easily be mistaken for an inguinal hernia. On physical examination, round ligament varicosities and groin hernia are difficult to distinguish. The diagnosis of round ligament varicosities can be established on gray-scale and color Doppler sonography. We experienced a case of round ligament varicosities in which a 29-year-old woman presented symptoms at 36 weeks gestation. The patient was diagnosed using Doppler sonography, managed with conservative therapy, and had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery at 40 weeks. The symptoms were resolved completely by two weeks postpartum. We report a case of round ligament varicosities that was diagnosed at 36 weeks of gestation with a review of the literature.
