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.

Lipoma involving brain and spinal cord is a rare tumor that most commonly located in the midsagittal region. This lesion is usually asymptomatic and has been reported incidentally at postmortem examination. Recently, the CT scan establishes the diagnosis of intracranial lipoma on the basis of typical X-ray absorption and location. The authors experienced a case of intracranial lipoma of occipital lobes. The patient was 7 months-old male who had protruding mass on the occipital region after birth. The mass revealed an uncapsulated lipoma with foca cartilage formation. We report this case with brief review of literatures.

A case of extrastkeletal Ewing's sarcoma on lower extremity in a 60-year-old male is reported. Extraskeletal Ewing's sarcoma is a rare malignant neoplasm that shows similar histologic and ultrastructural features to Ewing's sarcoma of bone. Histologically, the neoplasm was composed of small, round to oval cells with scant cytoplasm that were arranged in sheets with large area of necrosis. Electron microscopy of the neoplastic cells revaled scant cytopasm containing glycogen rosettes and a paucity of organelles. There is no ultrastructural evidence to indicate the origin of the cells.

Giant cell arteritis is a focal granulomatous inflammation of arteries of medium and small size that affects principally the cranial vessels, especially the temporal arteries, in older individuals. It appears to be a localized process; its significance apparantly depends on the organ affected. A 67-year-old man was admitted to hospital because of the left scrotal mass and pain lasting for 1 month. On physical examination, the hard masses were palpated at the superior part of the left epididymis without tenderness. Histologically, the spermatic cord showed granulomatous arteritis involving the small and medium sized arteries with a transmural inflammatory infiltrates centered on the inner media, and composed of lymphocytes, histiocytes, some eosinophils and multinucleated giant cells. The elastic tissue stain revealed the fragmentation of the internal elastic lamina along with numerous epithelioid histiocytes and giant cells.

Retroperitoneum is often the site of occurrence of schwannoma, but reports on schwanoma of the adrenal gland is exceptional and only 4 cases have been documented in the literature. This report is to add one such case occurred in a 53 year-old male who had anorexia, nausea and indigestion for one month. Whole body bone scan and abdominal CT scan revealed a 10 cm sized solid mass at upper pole of the left kidney. Under the impression of renal cell carcinoma, an operation was performed. The tumor was well encapsulated and appeared not to involve the kidney. The cut surfaces were light yellow and seemed to be composed of several hard lobules with areas of mucoid, cystic and calcific changes. No adrenal gland was identified grossly. But microscopically, the tumor was found to be partly surrounded by a small portion of adrenal cortical tissue. Histologically the tumor was a typical schwannoma with Verocay bodies, although modified in some extents by mucoid degeneration, cystic change, hyaline change and focal calcification. It is worthwhile to remember that the retroperitoneal schwannoma commonly had a huge size, sometimes involving the adjacent structures.
