Prognosis and biologic behavior of malignant ovarian tumors have been assessed by clinical staging, morphological grading and many other variables. Recently DNA ploidy measured by flow cytometry has been suggested as an additional important indicator of the tumor behavior and prognosis. The author measured DNA ploidy, S-phase fraction and DNA Index in 36 patients of epithelial ovarian tumors(17 were malignant, and 19 were borderline) by flow cytometric analysis of paraffin embedded tumor blocks. Comparing with FIGO stage, tumor grade, histologic type and others, the author investigated the clinical significance of the results of flow cytometric analysis. The results obtained as follows : (continue)

The osteochondroma is a common benign tumor with osteocartilaginous exostosis. It may arise from any bone, but is observed most often on long tubular bones, particularly on their metaphyseal region. Osteochondroma may also arise from the rib but seldom grow to giant size. We experienced a rare case of giant osteochondroma arising from the left 5th rib. The patient, 41 years old man, had an adult fist sized mass on the left lower chest with mild aching pain on respiration. The large mass was examined by biopsy. It showed characteristic microscopic findings of osteochondroma. No evidence of malignant change was seen in this large tumor.

Chilaiditis syndrome is very rare clinical condition that interposed of the hepatic flexure of large bowels between the liver and diaphragm. Clinically it is characterized by abdominal pain that becomes increasingly worse during the day and is often accentuated by deep breathing. On radiologic studies, it shows gas within the hepatic flexure interposed between the liver and diaphragm, which is simulating a pneumoperitoneum. A case was admitted at emergency care center of Yeungnam university hospital and we report it.

Cerebral venous infarction is associated with a wide variety of clinical symptoms and signs, which may often delay appropriate diagnosis. Unilateral vestibular deficit as a presenting sign of cerebral venous infarction has rarely been reported. We report a patient with cerebral venous infarction who had severe prolonged vertigo, vomiting, occipital headache, positive head thrust testing, and unilateral caloric weakness as main clinical features. Although the patient had occipital headache, overall symptoms and signs closely mimicked those of acute peripheral vestibulopathy.

Vestibular neuritis (VN) is an idiopathic peripheral vestibular syndrome characterized by acute isolated prolonged vertigo. In most cases, it results from inflammation of the vestibular nerve presumably of viral origin. There has been no previous report of VN associated with a vascular cause. We here report a patient with VN of vascular origin who presented with acute onset of prolonged isolated vertigo, a unilateral decreased caloric response, and simultaneously with acute infarcts on brain MRI that were unrelated to patient's vertigo.
