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.

The convulsive seizure brings about cerebral hypoxic damage through the respiratory impediment caused by uncorrdinated muscle spasm and rising metabolic demand of contracting muscles. Therefore, it should be treated adequately by providing the patient with anticonvulsants and supplementary oxygen, as soon as it is develops from any cause. We experienced a 9-year old male patient with tonic convulsive seizure and come at about 12 hours after spinal anesthesia for appendectomy. It was suspected by the cerebrospinal fluid findings, clinical signs and symptoms that his convulsive sizure was symptom of aseptic meningitis, arare delayed neurologic complication, following spinal anesthesia. This patient was treated successfully by continuous intravenous drip of thiopental solution and the approptiate symptomatic therapy.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical correlation between penile size and prostatic volume. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 196 men were included in this study, 96 patients diagnosed as benign prostataic hyperpalsia(BPH, mean age: 67.2+/-18.8) by transurethral ultrasonography(TRUS), and 100 healthy volunteers(mean age: 48+/-16.2). The stretched penile length and penile circumference were measured by one examiner. We compared penile size with prostatic volume. BPH patients were classified as group I(30~39 ml), group II(40~49 ml) and group III(above 50 ml) by prostatic volume. RESULTS: For penile length and penile circumference, the mean values were 12.3+/-2.0 cm and 9.1+/-1.1 cm in group I, 12.6+/-2.2 cm and 9.2+/-1.0 cm in group II, 13.9+/-2.7 cm and 9.8+/-1.2 cm in group III, and 12.3+/-1.3 cm and 9.0+/-1.2 cm in control group, respectively. Compared to the control group, penile size was significantly higher in group III(p <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Larger prostatic volume, especially above 50 ml, is associated with a significant increase in penile size.

A 49-year old man was admitted to the Korea university hospital, department of surgery, for evaluation of anterior neck mass which was slowly growing for five years. His past history was unremarkable except for known hypertension for several years. Physical examination revealed high blood pressure, measuring 180 mmHg in systolic phase and 120 mmHg in diastolic phase. A soft nontender mass was palpated at anterior neck just above the sternal notch with smooth surface and its size was about 4 x 5 cm in cross. On laboratory examination, diabetic evidence such as high blood sugar (FBS 170 mg/dl, PP2hr. 234 mg/dl) and glucosuria. The CBC finding suggested polycythemia with high hemoglobin (18.0 g/dl) and hematocrit (54%) levels. The differential count and platelet count were within normal limits.

Kimura's disease is an important category of reactive lymphadenopathy especially among Asians. It is a chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology and is characterized by angiolymphoid proliferation and eosinophilia. The patient was a 17-year-old man with a 3-year-history of submandibular lymphadenopathy Who was referred to Kyung Hee University Hospital for evaluation of enlarging mass. He had a history of nephrotic syndrome for 7-8 years since 1984. Laboratory findings were not specific except for peripheral blood eosinophilia. The submandibular lymph node showed florid germinal enters, increased postcapillary venules in the paracortex, eosinophilic infiltration, and sclerosis. In this paper, a case of lymphadenopathy of Kimura's disease associated with nephrotic syndrome is reported.

A well-differentiated extraskeletal osteosarcoma is very rare, and only seven cases have been reported in the English language clinical literature. We report an additional case of this rare tumor. A 71-year-old man had noticed a mass in the left pubic area for ten years. A CT scan demonstrated the presence of a lobulated calcified mass within the soft tissue. A 5 cm-sized well-circumscribed mass was excised. Histologically the tumor was composed of mature collagenous tissue and bony trabeculae rimmed by osteoblasts. After 43 months, the tumor recurred at the same site and was re-excised. The re-excised tumor contained focal areas of higher cellularity and atypism. We believe that this is the first case of well-differentiated extraskeletal osteosarcoma reported in Korea.
