A case of primary lymphosarcoma of the prostate gland proved by Silvermann needle biopsy was presented. Lymphosarcoma of the prostate is a rare condition, and only 23 cases have been reported in medical literature. In Culver's series, 74 per cent were sarcoma of fibrous origin (round cell, spindle cell sarcoma, myxosarcoma), 5 per cent rhabdomyosarcoma, 6 per cent lymphosarcoma, and 10 percent pleuriplastic or un-or de-differentiated sarcoma. A large tumor of the prostate, which is not hard and nodule occurs in a middle aged patient, should be considered of lymphosarcoma of the prostate. A case of lymphosarcoma of the prostate is added to the literature.

A study was made of 234 patients with carcinoma of the cervix seen during the period from Aug.-1959 to Dec.-1963, who had come to the Departments of Obstetric and Gynecology of Yonsei Medical Hospital. Intravenous pyelogram, cystoscopy, and urine examination were done and N. P, N. was checked in addition to clinical examination before treatment. Intravenous pyelogram were classified into 1. Non-functioning 2. Hydronephrosis 3. Hydroureter as abnormalities Also cystoscopic finding were classified into 1. Elevation of bladder wall 2. Bullous edema 3. Neoplasm invasion. There were 51 patients who showed abnormality of intravenous pyelogram among the 234 patients with carcinoma of cervix, that was a unilateral abnormality in 38 cases and bilateral in 13 cases. Again, among 24(10.26%) non-functioning kidney in this series the left kidney was affected in 11 cases and right kidney in 6 cases. The 125 of 234 patients showed elevation of bladder wall in cystoscopic finding, and the posterior wall of bladder was elevated similarly in all stages. The urological study of patients with carcinoma of cervix are most essential works in addition to clinical examination, and it should be considered as a systemic disease for all physician especially gynecologist, radiologist, and urologist.

PURPOSE:The project of the neonatal mass screening test for inborn errors of metabolism are just at the beginning in Korea and there was a few reports about the overall incidence and subtypes of congenital hypothyroidism. METHODS:In this study, we analysed the 97 cases of newborns with hyperthyrotropinemia who were detected by neonatal screening test to identify the incidence and early clinical manifestations of each subtypes of congenital hypothyroidism. Thyroid function were measured by thyrotropin(TSH) level, T4, T3, Free T4, Free T3, thyroglobulin, T3 resin uptake, TBII, TBG in serum, thyroid ultrasonography and 99mTc thyroid scan. We reanalysed the thyroid functions 1 week after discontinuance of L-thyroxine treatment for 1 year. RESULTS: 1) The time of neonatal screening test were between 3 and 7 days after birth in 46 cases(47.4%) and 8 and 14 days after birth in 35 cases(36.1%). Two cases (2.1%) were done neonatal screening test at the age of 2 days old. 2) The major cause of thyroid disorders were primary hypothyroidism in 45 cases of the total due to thyroid aplasia(7 cases), thyroid hypoplasia(17 cases), ectopic thyroid gland(12 cases) and dyshormonogenesis(9 cases). Other causes of thyroid disorders were TBG deficiency(11 cases), TBG dysfuction(1 case), transient hyperthyrotropinemia(28 cases) and transient hypothyroidism(12 cases). 3) Serum level of thyrotropin(TSH) at diagnosis were 223.5+/-229.6microU/ml in thyroid aplasia, 41.6+/-42.9microU/ml in thyroid hypoplasia, 52.4+/-55.6microU/ml in ectopic thyroid gland. TSH levels were significantly high in thyroid aplasia. T4 levels in thyroid aplasia are 1.7+/-2.0microg/dl and this is significantly lower than other types of thyroid disorders. T3 levels were within normal range except in thyroid aplasia and TBG deficiency. 4) Prolongation of physiologic jaundice was the most common clinical manifestation(33.3%) in patients with primary hypothyroidism and macroglossia, hypothermia, umbilical hernia and cold skin were the next commom clinical manifestations in order to present. 5) Osseous development was normal in 57 cases(82.6%) out of 69 cases who accomplished roentgenographic examination of knees. Only 12 cases(17.4%) showed retardation of osseous development, but there was no significant differences between types of thyroid disorders. 6) Most of the newborn(93.3%) with primary hypothyroidism started to treatment within 8 weeks of age. 7) Initial dosage of L-thyroxine was 10microg/kg/day and decreased 6 to 12 months after treatment. 8) There was significantly decreased thyroid uptake of 99mTc after 1 year follow-up in 5 cases of dyshormonogenesis. 9) The serum TSH levels returned to normal ranges within 6 month after treatment in transient hypothyroidism and transient hyperthyrotropinemia. CONCLUSIONS:Special attention should be paid to transient hyperthyrotropinemia and transient hypothyroidism because many of the congenital thyroid disorders showed transient type and it is necessary to establish the diagnostic guideline to early detect these transient types of congenital thyroid disorders.

PURPOSE: To define the histologic correlation of the ultrsonic gastric wall layers of resected human gastric specimens. MATERIALS AND METHODS: UItrasound images of the gastric wall by using 5 or 7.5 MHz linear transducer were compared with the corresponding histologic sections of 30 surgically resected human gastric specimens. RESULTS: Five layers seen from within on ultrasound images of the normal gastric wall corresponded to (1) the acoustic interface between fluid bathing the surgical specimen and the mucosal surface and a portion of the superficial mucosa, (2) the deep mucosa including the muscularis mucosae and most of the superficial mucosa, (3) the submucosa plus the acoustic interface between the submucosa and the muscularis propria, (4) the muscularis propria minus the acoustic interface between the submucosa and the muscularis propria, and (5) the serosa and the subserosal tissue plus the acoustic interface between the serosa and the fluid bathing the surgical specimen. Ultrasonic findings in gastric carcinomas corresponded to their histopathologic findings. CONCLUSION: Histologic correlation of the ultrasonic gastric wall layers will provide us with a very useful and objective basis of gastric ultrasonography.

We reviewed 28 patients admitted due to urologic complications after obstetric & gynecologic operation and management since May 1972. The age distribution, developed urologic complications and it`s treatment are discussed. The prevalent age groups of urologic complications were 30`s and 40`s. The most common urologic complication was urinary fistula : 8 ureterovaginal, 8 vesicovaginal and 4 other fistulas. The results after 1st operation of urinary fistula showed an over-all success rate of 72.6%.
