Two cases of carcinoid tumor of the uterine cervix were reported with emphasis on the histologic, cytologic, histochemical and electron microscopic appearance of tumor cells. Based on the light microscopic findings, one case was a well differentiated carcinoid with acinus formation, and the other was a poorly differentiated anaplastic type, being composed of small cells similar to those of oat cell carcinoma of the lung. Both tumors demonstrated scattered argyrophilic cells on Grimelius stain, and contained neurosecretory granules on electron microscopy. They were in stages II b and IV, respectively, at the time of presentation. The latter patient was treated with vinblastin, platinol and bleomycin, but died in 9 months after the initial diagnosis. The former was lost to follow-up study. Importance of distinction between this highly malignant tumor and other varieties of cervical cancer was emphasized.

The term Down's syndrome is preferred to mongolism. The most constant characteristic of disease is mental retardation. The incidence of Down's syndrome is about 1/600 in the general population, being roughly the same in various parts of world and in all races. The patient's mother's age at the same time of conception as well as the nature of chromosomalmalformation are in genetic counseling. We reported a case of Down's syndrome in 5 year old female who was bone in 38 year old mother, and she was noted epicanthus, nystagmus, esotropia, Brush-field spots. Other systemic manifestation-, Simian crease, short extrimites, inward curved 5th finger, Sandal gap foot, congenital heart disease, prominent abdomen-, was also noted.

PURPOSE: The relationship between menopausal status at diagnosis and the prognosis in breast carcinoma remains uncertain. However, it is widely considered that breast cancer in young women is more lethal than in older patients. We therefore attempted to determine whether menopausal status could be a useful prognostic factor for breast cancer. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted of premenopausal women who had undergone a definite operation between Jan. 1997 and Dec. 1998 in the Department of Surgery, Samsung Medical Center. Clinical features, histopathologic findings, and prognostic factors were evaluated and compared with those for the equivalent surgical group of postmenopausal women. RESULTS: There were 207 cases (86.3%) of infiltrating ductal carcinomas, 10 (4.2%) of infiltrating lobular carcinomas, 6 (2.5%) of ductal carcinomas in situ, and 16 (6.7%) of special type cancers which showed good prognosis. There were some differences in these incidences from those of the postmenopausal women, but they were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Tumor size and lymph nodal status showed no difference between the two groups (P=0.288), nor were there any significant differences in terms of TNM stage, ER/PR status, nuclear or histologic grade (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: There were little differences in pathologic and prognostic factors between premenopausal and postme no- pausal breast cancer patients. Premenopausal status and young age did not have poorer prognostic factors and were predicted to have not worse prognosis.

A l3-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital with severe hypertension, visual blurring, excessive sweating, polyuria and polydipsia. On admission, the blood pressure was persistently elevated at 230/180 mmHg. and an ophthalmologist was consulted, the funduscopic examination showed bilateral grade IV retinopathy. Cardiomegaly with dyspneic on exertion and persistent tachycardia were present. In urine examinations, proteinuria was sustained and glycosuria was traced. B. U. N. was 9.4 mg/dl. Urinary catecholamine was 12480 mic.g./day ; urinary V. M. A. was 20.2 mg./day. Regitine test was positive but histamine test was not performed. Presacral air insufflation with nephrotomography showed egg sized soft tissue mass locating at just above the upper pole of left kidney. He was operated with transabdominal approach. There were bilateral pheochromocytomas on suprarenal areas. Two weeks after operation, he was discharged with good general condition and we report this case with review of literatures.
