A 77-year-old woman with a medical history of myocardial infarction had a medical check-up at a local clinic. She reported sensation of abdominal distension which had appeared 6 months previously. Computed tomography demonstrated a very large ovarian tumor concomitant with an abdominal aortic aneurysm with a maximum diameter of 68 mm, and she was referred to our hospital. We performed a simultaneous extirpation of the ovarian tumor and abdominal aneurysm prosthetic graft replacement. The patient was discharged 13 days postoperatively after an uneventful postoperative course. The histopathological diagnosis of the ovarian tumor was mucinous cystadenoma. We reviewed the surgical procedures for similar cases of concomitant disease, and found that reports of surgical cases of simultaneous huge ovarian tumor extirpation and abdominal aneurysm prosthetic graft replacement are rare.

Before and after the physical fitness tests included 1000 meter endurable walking, aged males and females more than 61 to 80 years old were tested on the blood pressure, heart rate and blood components. The results were as follows.
1) The systolic and diastolic blood pressure were not varied so distinctly.
2) Heart rates were increased in all groups.
3) Serum cholesterol, GOT and GPT were not influenced.
4) Fatty acid, especially unsaturated one, was increased remarkably.
5) Fatty acid increasing observed on excellent performer of the endurable walking was higher than that of poor performer.
6) Increasing ratio of the fatty acid which was found on the subjects with abnormal ECG was higher than that of the subjects with normal ECG.
As above mentioned facts, the test of serum fatty acid seemed very important item to the aged people from the view point of security of the exercise.
