3.Endometrial Ossification: Clinical and pathological analysis of 7 cases.
Korean Journal of Pathology 1996;30(3):238-244
Endometrial ossifications in seven patients who presented with secondary or primary infertility were described. Herein, we described step-by-step bone forming process in the endometrium and we compared the clinicopathological features of metaplastic ossification and fetal remnants. In five of seven patients, metaplasia was unquestionable etiology of ossification, which was ocquired in the healing process of postabortion endometritis. Ossifications were recurred during the follow-up periods after total hysteroscopic removal in 2 cases. Three cases were followed by normal pregnancy, after total hysteroscopic removal of bony spicules in 2 cases and with retaining of bony spicules in 1 case. In one other case, bony spicules of fetal remnants were verified by multiple fetal hair shafts and endochondral bone formation. Therefore, the cause of endometrial ossification can only be determined by histological findings and careful past obstetric history.

4.A Case of Giant Sertoli-Leydig Cell Tumor of the Ovary with Masculinization.
Korean Journal of Gynecologic Oncology and Colposcopy 2001;12(1):63-67
Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor is a rare sex-cord stromal tumor of the ovary and accounts for less than 0.5% of all ovarian tumors. It is among the most fascinating from pathologic and clinical viewpoints in masculinization. We experience an unusual case of a poorly differentiated Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor in 60-year-old woman who showed masculinization and present it with brief review of literature.

5.A Clinical Study of 32 Patients with Sweet' s Syndrome.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1995;33(5):907-913
BACKGROUND: The clinical study of Sweets syndrome has never been reported in Korea. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to elucidate the clinical observations and associated diseases of Sweets syndrome. METHODS: During a 5-year-period from Jan. 1990 to Dec. 1994, 32 patients were evaluated in regard to age incidence, sex ratio, location of skin lesions, and associated diseases. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS : 1, The age distribution was in the range of 21-70 years. Most patients were between 31 to 40 years of age. There were 12 male patients and 20 female giving a sex distribution of 1.7: 1 ratio in favor of the fernale. 2. The most cornmon site of iavolvement was the arm(37.5%). 3. ESR was increased in 21 patients(65.6%) and leukocytosis was present in 13 patients(40.6) 4. The most common associated disease was Behcets disease(31.2%). 5. Steroids were used mos frequently for treatment of Sweets syndrome with 12 patients(37.5%). Recurrence occurred in 7 patients(21.9%). The results show that the iniidence of Sweets syndrome in men in Korea is not as rre as was previously thought and tfiat there are many associated diseases especially Behcets disease.

A Listeria monocytogenes infection is relatively rare in healthy adults. However, the chance of an infection increases almost 17 times in pregnancy due to changes in the immune function. A Listeria monocytogenes infection results in characteristic gross and microscopic features in the placenta, including multiple yellowish nodules showing microscopic intervillous abscess and intervillositis. We describe the placental findings of a Listeria monocytogenes infection that was complicated by maternal sepsis, myocarditis and congestive heart failure. The infection was discovered in the 34th week of a twin gestation in a 28 year-old woman. This case should emphasize the importance of this condition to pathologists. Antibiotic treatment was started based on the placental histologic findings before a maternal blood culture confirmed growth of Listeria monocytogenes. Both the mother and twin babies were healthy at the time of this report.
