Implantation of a blastocyst within the endocervical canal is termed a"cervical pregn-ancy", which is one of the most dangerous forms of ectopic pregnancy. It is even less common, but the incidence appear to be increasing, in part due to newer forms of assisted reproduction. Proper management is indicated as soon as the diagnosis is suspected. Hemorrhage may be massive and sometimes fatal. In the past, hysterectomy was often the only choice available because of profuse hemorrhage that accompanied attempts at removal of the cerv- ical pregnancy. We report two cases of cervical pregnancy treated conservatively without hysterect- omy. Hemorrhage from the implantation site was controlled by intracervical placement of a Foley catheter balloon without hemostatic cervical sutures at 3 and 9 o clock. Immediate insertion of a Foley catheter into the cervical canal and inflation of the catheter bulb after endocervical suction curettage appears to be a simple and effective technique of managing cervical pregnancy in a patient who wishes to maintain childbearing capacity.

Krukenberg tumor is comparatively rate in metastatic ovarian tumor and is almost metastasized from gastrointestinal tract. We have experienced one case of tumor of unidentified primary focus and two coases of metastatic Krukenberg tmor from stomach and report this cases with a brief review of literatures.

Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor is an uncommon tumor that may manifest itself by a characteri-stic virilization symptom. It is a rare gonadal tumor of sex-cord type, representing only 0.1~0.5% of all primary ovarian neoplasm. These tumors are the most common virilizing tumors in women of reproductive age. However, only one-third of patients develop masculinization. We have seen two cases of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors without the virilizing symptom. These two cases have been confirmed by permanent tissue biopsies and have been presented in a 32-year old female who has had only amenorrhea and in a 56-year old postmenopausal female who has not manifested virilizing symptom. These cases are presented with brief review of the literature.
