The goals of the evaluation is to identify; 1) potentially correctable conditions, 2) irreversible conditions but are amenable to ART using male partner sperm, 3) irreversible conditions not amenable to ART, fro which donor IUI or adoption are possible options, 4) life- or health threatening conditions that may underlie infertility and require medical attention and 5) genetic abnormalities that may affect offspring if ART is employed.

A well-differentiated extraskeletal osteosarcoma is very rare, and only seven cases have been reported in the English language clinical literature. We report an additional case of this rare tumor. A 71-year-old man had noticed a mass in the left pubic area for ten years. A CT scan demonstrated the presence of a lobulated calcified mass within the soft tissue. A 5 cm-sized well-circumscribed mass was excised. Histologically the tumor was composed of mature collagenous tissue and bony trabeculae rimmed by osteoblasts. After 43 months, the tumor recurred at the same site and was re-excised. The re-excised tumor contained focal areas of higher cellularity and atypism. We believe that this is the first case of well-differentiated extraskeletal osteosarcoma reported in Korea.

Eczema herpeticum is a herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection with disseminated skin involvement superimposed on a pre-existing dermatosis such as atopic dermatitis, neurodermatitis, pemphigus vulgaris and Darier's disease. We report a case of eczema herpeticum by HSV-1 infection confirmed by polymerase chain reaction in a 20-year-old man associated with Darier's disease.

Congenital melanocytic nevi rarely develop depigmentation, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. We, herein, present a case of congenital melanocytic nevus which has undergone progressive involution in association with vitiligo. A 23-year-old man had a dark brownish patch partially surrounded by the depigmented patch on his mid back. He also had multiple depigmented patches on his trunk and neck, which had developed since the age of 5. Histopathologic examination from the dark brownish patch adjacent to the depigmented area showed typical findings of compound nevus with a mild perivascular lymphocytic infiltration. TUNEL staining from the same lesion demonstrated many strong positive epidermal basal cells as well as dermal nevus cells, indicative of apoptosis.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the lung is histologically and ultrastructurally identical to the salivary gland tumor of the same name and is characterized by infiltrative growth, local recurrence, and usually a prolonged clinical course. We have recently experienced two cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma arising in the lung. Case 1 was a 59 year-old male who presented with cough, fever, and chill of 1.5 months' duration, and case 2 was a 61 year-old male who was incidentally found to have a 3 to 4 cm sized lobulated mass in the right upper lobe. After being worked up, both patients underwent right pneumonectomy. In case 1, a 3x2 cm sized tumor was located in the lower bronchus, partly elevating toward the lumen and partly infiltrating into regional lymph nodes and lung parenchyma showing grayish-white and solid cut surface. Case 2 was a 3.5x3.5 cm sized upper bronchial tumor resembling the former in appearance. Histologically, the tumors were composed of small round hyperchromatic cells, forming solid, cribriform, acinar, or tubular structures. Luminal spaces in tumor cell nests contained PAS-positive mucinous or hyaline material. Among the tumor cells, scattered islands of normal submucosal gland were noticed.

Authors experienced a case of acute myocardial infarction confirmed by analysis of LDH isoenzyme. 53-year-old male was admitted to Sacred Heat Hospital, Chung Ang University Because of severe precordial pain radiating to both arm, shoulder and back. Chest X-ray film & electrocardiogram were within normal limit and SGOT was 110 unit/ml on the day of admission. Determination of total LDH value and analysis of LDH isoenzyme by agar gel electrophoresis were made on the second hospital day. Total LDH was 315unit/ml, but there was significant increased percentage of LDH isoenzyme(LDH1). Electrocardiogram showed ST segment elevation only on the 8th hospital day.
