Strumal carcinoma of the ovary is rare tumor of germ cell origin characterized by intimate mixture of thyroid tissue and carcinoid. We report a strumal carcinoid tumor associated with ipsilateral follicular cyst and contralateral mature cystic teratoma of the ovary in a 47-year-old woman. Histologically it was composed largely of trabeculae partly of insular carcinoid and focally of individual thyroid follicles. Many cells in the carcinoid areas and even some follicular areas contained abundant argyrophile granules, and they also, in the corresponding areas, demonstrated thyroglobulin. Electron microscopic findings revealed abundant neurosecretory granules and colloid material in the same cell. We agree that this tumor is derived from hybrid showing thyroid and neuroendocrine differenciation.

A 2-month-old Korean boy presented with a solitary papule on the cheek which was noted at birth. Histopathologic findings were consistent with angiofibroma of fibrous papule of the face (FPF). FPF is known to affect adults, and congenital occurrence has not been reported to the best of our knowledge. We report a case of congenital FPF which showed a facial papule clinically and an angiofibroma histologically.

Over the last 20 years, the frequency of multiple pregnancy has increased mainly because of the introduction of exogenous pituitary gonadotropins in the treatment of infertility. Since the advent of assisted reproductive technology, the concern about ectopic implantation of embryos has increased dramatically and it continues to be a major complication of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Bilateral tubal pregnancy is the least common type of ectopic implantation of two embryos. Of all extrauterine pregnancies, 1:725~1:1580 are bilateral1,2. Simultaneous tubal pregnancies have been reported in natural cycles, recently, after ovulation induction, in-vitro fertilization2,3. The high incidence of ectopic pregnancy associated with IVF-ET continues to be a problem and frequencies of between 2.4 and 12.4% have been only a few reports of simultaneous bilateral tubal pregnancies following IVF-ET4. This paper describes a case of a simultaneous bilateral tubal pregnancy after IVF-ET in a 33 year old patient. The diagnosis was confirmed by diagnostic laparoscopy performed 25 days after embryo transfer(sixth week of gestation), which revealed bilateral tubal pregnancy. Bilateral salpingectomy was performed. With a review of the literature on this topic, diagnostic aspects and treatment options are discussed.

Postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis has been thought to be a rare disease of which clinical finding is not accurate. Most of postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis presents as symptoms consisting of fever, lower abdominal pain, abdominal mass. If the symptom does not response even with intravenous antibiotics therapy or diagnosis is inaccurate, a ultrasound or a CT scan should be obtained for diagnosis. We report a case of postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis after cesarean section diagnosed and treated, with a brief review of literatures.
