Malignant mixed mullerian tumor (MMMT) is a tumor in which carcinoma (an epithelial malignancy) is mixed with sarcoma (a nonepithelial malignancy). Extrauterine MMMTs are extremely rare, and only 32 cases are reported according to the literature. We experienced a case of primary peritoneal MMMT and repot with a brief review of literature.

Primary papillary serous carcinoma of the peritoneum(PPSCP) is vere rare. It has been suggested that PPSCP derives from embryonal coelomic epithelium with m llerian ducts potential. PPSCP can develop from a single or multicentric focus. The clinical and histologic disease entities are similar to those of primary papillary serous carcinoma of the ovary, but PPSCP involves the ovarian surface only minimally(microscopic disease) or spares the ovaries entirely. We have experienced a case of primary papillary serous carcinoma of the peritoneum and report this case with brief review of the concerned literature.

Primary papillary serous carcinoma of the peritoneum is a rare primary tumor involving the peritoneum. Histologically, it is indistinguishable from serous ovarian papillary carcinoma, although it either spares the o-varies or only microscopically involves their surface. The characteristic features of this tumor are extensive peritoneal and omental masses or implants with psammomatous calcification, and ascites. In addition, it can occur focally in the pelvic peritoneum. We report the CT findings, with histopathologic correlation of primary papillary serous carcinoma of the peritoneum occurring in the upper mesorectum.

Malignant mixed mullerian tumor (MMMT) is rare and has pathologically carcinoma and sarcoma components. Among them, primary peritoneal MMMTs are extremely rare, and their proper treatment and prognosis are not well-known. We experienced a case of primary peritoneal origin MMMT, so we report it with a brief review of the literatures.

The serous borderline tumors(SBTs) are divided into 3 groups, typical SBT with nonin-vasive implants, SBTs with invasive implants, and a recently described tumor, desinated mic-ropapillary serous carcinoma(MPSC). These tumors are associated with extraovarian implants, espicially peritoneum. Invasiveness of implants has prognostic significance in disease progre-ssion and recurrence. Micropapillary serous carcinoma and SBTs with invasive implants sho-uld be classified as carcinoma and treated accordingly. We report a case of borderline malign-ant ovarian surface papilloma with invasive peritoneal implant.

Primary serous papillary carcinoma of peritoneum (PSCP) is a tumor of the peritoneum, distinct from malignant mesothelioma, but similar in many ways to primary epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). It seems to be histologically identical to EOC and is differentiated from EOC based on the extent of gross ovarian involvement and microscopic invasion of the cortex. Currently, PSCP is evaluated, staged and treated in the same fashion as EOC, with the Gynecologic Oncology Group trials for the treatment of EOC now open to patients with PSCP. Therefore it is managed surgically in the same way as EOC with shared goal of optimal cytoreduction. Although the preponderance of evidence supports the benefit of maximal cytoreductive efforts for EOC, only limited data are available for debulking in PSCP. Here we report four cases of PSCP with a short literature, in who excisions of all visible implants were performed and residual lesions were measured up to less than 2 cm.

In this study, operative details and the postoperative courses of 42 patients who underwent cesarean section during Jan 2003-Dec 2004 at the Central Mothers’ Hospital were reported. The surgery used lower segment transverse incision technique with nonclosure of the visceral and parietal peritoneum. The Hinh Minh incision is performed. The uterine incision was closed in one layer with continuous, non-locking sutures, using a polyglactin no. 1 (Vicryl). Visceral and parietal peritoneum were left opened. The muscles were not approximated. The fascia was closed with a continuous non-locking suture of no. 1 Vicryl. The skin was closed with a continuous non-locking intradermic suture of no 2/0 nylon. Prophylactic antibiotic intravenous was used just after clamping the cord. Mean duration of intervention was 19.8  2.8 minutes. Nonclosure of the visceral and parietal peritoneum reduced operation time, and bowel function recovered more quickly

Two cases of vaginal injury due to Coitus are presented. One is the case of the laceration of midportion of posterior vaginal wall with shock and the other one in the laceration of posterior vaginal fornix and pelvic peritoneum. They are all in multiparity. And a review of literature on vaginal injury due to coitus is made briefly.

Retroperitoneal duodenal rupture is rare and is often difficult to diagnose on the plain abdominal x-ray. From a review of the plain abdomen films of 21 cases with retroperitoneal duodenal rupture, confirmed by operation, pneumoretroperitoneum was revealed in 16 cases; Air in the peritoneum was manifested as a bubbly shadow in 12 cases, a renal halo in 9 cases, air shadow along the right psoas margin in 2 cases, air along the diaphragmatic crus in 2 cases and air in the right properitoneal fat in 2 cases, US and CT also revealed air bubbles and fluid collection around the right kidney. We recommend the plain abdomen as a useful diagnostic method for detection of pneumoretroperitoneum.
