The goals of the evaluation is to identify; 1) potentially correctable conditions, 2) irreversible conditions but are amenable to ART using male partner sperm, 3) irreversible conditions not amenable to ART, fro which donor IUI or adoption are possible options, 4) life- or health threatening conditions that may underlie infertility and require medical attention and 5) genetic abnormalities that may affect offspring if ART is employed.

A 63-year-old male patient with extensive carcinoma in situ of the urinary bladder was found to have unsuspected transitional cell carcinoma of the prostate. Mapping of the totally embedded radical cystectomy specimen demonstrated diffuse, multifocal, epithelial abnormalities, ranging from mucosal atypia to the nonpapillary carcinoma in situ with extension to the urethra, prostatic ducts and glands, seminal vesicles and ureter, probably reflecting individual urothelial susceptibility in reaction to carcinogenic stimulus. The importance of prostatic assessment in the evaluation of the patient with carcinoma in situ of the urinary bladder is emphasized.

Esophageal involvement by malignant lymphoma is extremely rare. A case of follicular lymphoma of the esophagus, misdiagnosed as focal lymphoid hyperplasia (pseudolymphoma) in a 72-year-old man is presented. The esophagogram revealed diffuse narrowing of the lumen in the middle and distal portion without ulceration. The resected esophagus showed mural thickening without any remarkable mucosal change. Microscopically, the esophagus showed scattered follicular lymphoid aggregates in the submucosa, extending into periadventitial fat tissue. Most follicles were devoid of germinal center and consisted of loosely aggregated small cleaved cells without atypia. The surrounding stroma of the submucosa showed dense fibrosis entrapping the infiltrating small lymphocytes in a "indian-file" appearance. There were some reactive follicles with germinal center. In the lamina propria, many plasma cells and a few eosinophils were infiltrated. The gene rearrangement study showed rearranged band for Jk probe which confirmed monoclonal B-cell nature of infiltrated small lymphoid cells. The small cleaved lymphocytes arranged in follicles were positive for L26 and bcl-2 protein. This case demonstrated the necessity of immunophenotypic and gene rearrangement study in the diagnosis of pseudolymphoma in the digestive tract.

Maligant melanomas of the oral or nasal cavity, and the vulvovaginal area are relatively common among the melanomas of non-ocular mucosa. But, primary malignant melanoma arising in the mucosa of the palatine tonsil is rare. We present a case of primary malignant melanoma arising in the mucosa of the palatine tonsil. A 36-year-old male was admitted for evaluation of a recurrent sore throat. Tonsillectomy was performed on the basis of clinical suspicion of chronic tonsillitis. Grossly, the left tonsil was focally dark. Microscopically, the tonsillar mucosa was diffusely infiltrated with tumor cells. Tumor cells revealed numerous melanin pigments. Intraepithelial nests of tumor cells were noted, but pagetoid spread of tumor cells was not found. Tumor cells were positive for S-100 protein and HMB45 stain. There was no evidence of melanoma in the skin or eye.

Cardiovascular respons follwing ethanol ingeation was conapared in two groups of male college studenta; 20 who ahowed visble facial flushing and 25 whe showed on flushing. Ethanol was administered as 25% Korean liquor (Kumbokju) a dose of 2ml per kg body weight, the heart rate, blood pressure and respiratory rate were measured. The reaults areas follows. The heart rate after ethanol ingestion increased significantly in both flushing and non-flushing groups. However, the degree of the heart rate increased in the flushing group was aignificantly higher than that in the non-flushing group. The blood pressure was decreased significantly from 40minutes after ethanol ingestion in both groups. Howyer, the flushing group showed higher systolic pressure, and lower diastalic pressure and mean arterial pressure than the non-flushing group. The reapiratory rate following ethanol administration was increased in the flushing group but decreased in the non-flishing group when compared with the resting respiratory rate. The results clearly indicate that a signifcant difference in cardiovascular resoponrses to ethanol exists the flushing and non-flushing groups. The flushing group shows a greater tachycardia and greater fall in. mean arterial pressure followig ethanol ingestion than the non-flushing group.
