Sex cord tumor with annular tubules (SCTAT) is a rare ovarian neoplasm which usually occurs in two forms. In patients associated with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, the tumors are usually small, bilateral or multifocal, and show benign clinical course. However, tumors from patients without the syndrome are often large, usually unilateral, and rarely show malignant behavior. Serous surface papillary carcinoma (SSPC) is an aggressive neoplasm which involves peritoneal linings, including ovarian surface. Recently, we encountered a case of an unusual combination of SCTAT and SSPC in the ovary of a 55-year-old Korean woman presented with abdominal distention for one year. Systemic review and physical examination were within normal limit, except for abdominal discomfort and distention. There was no stigmata of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome in all diagnostic examinations, including gastroscopy and colonoscopy. Pelvic computed tomography showed adnexal mass with multiple peritoneal nodules. Exploration revealed uterine and ovarian surfaces covered with multiple, yellow-white papillary nodules. However, the sizes of both ovaries were within normal limit. Typical serous papillary carcinomas were identified in nodules from peritoneum and ovarian surfaces. Well-circumscribed columnar epithelial cell nests composed of ring-shaped tubules encircling hyalinized basement membrane-like materials were found in the ovary away from serous surface papillary carcinoma.

Synovial sarcoma is comparatively uncommon and highly malignant tumor, which usually arises in proximity to a joint and may affect the adjacent bones. Occurence in finger and severe bony involvement are rare. We present a case of synovial sarcoma of the thumb, because the tumor arose in an unusual site and was characterized by severe bony destruction.

BACKGROUND: The coronal incision is versatile surgical approach to upper and middle region of the facial skeletal including the zygomatic arch. The advantages of coronal approach are minimal injury of facial tissue including facial nerve and satisfactory cosmetic result by hidden scar at hair. But wide exposure of scalp, its disadvantages are operation time and massive blood loss. METHODS: Thirty patients undergoing elective surgery were divided 3 groups. Group I used only coronal approach, group II used coronal with subciliary approach and group III used coronal with subciliary and intraoral approach. And then retrospected of the preoperative, postoperative red blood cell count, hemoglobin(Hb), hematocrit, transfused red blood cell units and platelet cell units, and the amount of infused crystalloids and colloids, and postoperative hemovac count was estimated. RESULTS: 1. Red blood cell count were decreased in all groups at immediated postoperation and decreased in all group of postoperative first day and decreased in group I, II but increased group III of postoperative third day. 2. Hemoglobin and hematocrit were decreased in all group at immediated postoperation and decreased in all group of postoperative first day and decreased in group I, II., but increased group III postoperative third day. 3. Platelet was decreased in all group at immediated postoperation, and decreased in group II, III but increased in group I of postoperative first day and decreased in group I but increased group II, III of postoperative third day. 4. Mean postoperative hemovac mean drainage group I of first day is 48.63+/-21.12ml and second day is 23.92+/-19.53ml and third day is 7.82+/-5.32ml and group II of first day 60.45+/-22.65ml and second day is 22.14+/-13.21ml and third day is 7.32+/-6.25ml. III group of first day 58.16+/-10.13ml and second day is 21.27+/-11.72ml and third day is 7.13+/-4.90ml. 5. Infusion of group I is mean PRC 1.08+/-0.91 pint, FFP 1.03+/-0.75 pint, crystalloid 2562.23+/-1345.53ml and group II is mean PRC 1.05+/-0.89 pint, FFP 1.71+/-0.78, crystalloid 2650.47+/-1096.36ml and group III is mean PRC 1.79+/-1.45 pint, crystalloid 3295.43+/-1472.432ml.
