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.

We report an autopsy of a male fetus that showed multiple congenital anomalies that could best be designated as Meckel-Gruber syndrome. The fetus was born dead at the gestational age of 38 weeks. His parents denied any history of congenital malformation. And the parity of the mother was 0-0-0-0, but she had the past history of receiving herb medication for common cold. The congenital anomalies found in this case consited of occipital meningoencephalocele, midline cleft palate, bifid epiglottis, hepatic fibrosis, choledochal cyst, bilateral polycystic kidneys, postaxial polydactyly of both hands and feet, aplasia of the left testis, secundum type atrial septal defect and patent ductus arterious. This malformation syndrome is rare and lethal. The prenatal diagnosis should be made by ultrasound study or analysis of the amniotic fluid for alpha-feto protein during intrauterine period. The kidneys showed Potter type III cystic change and there was a characteristic hepatic fibrosis.

We report a case of Buerger's disease manifested by a scrotal mass, in view of its rarity. A tender bean sized mass was palpated in the left scrotum of a 34 year-old male heavy smoker, who had a history of right pain two years ago which subsided spontaneously. The left testis with the paratesticular tissue was excised. Vessels of the spermatic cord and epididymis showed microscopic changes of Buerger's disease. The involved arteries and veins revealed a predominantly subacute pattern with granulomatous inflammation and Langhans' type giant cells within the thrombi.

Esophageal granular cell tumor of is rare neoplesin, and 3 cases were reported in Korea so far. We report a case of esophageal granular cell tumor in a 28 year old man. The patient was a 28 year old man who visited this hospital because of upper abdominal pain, acid belching and weight loss. A small nodule, 5 mm in diameter, was found in mid esophagus on esophagoscopy. This nodule was proved to be a granular cell tumor.

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is a recently recognized clinicopathologic entity characterized by dilatation of pancreatic duct filled with copious mucin and papillary ductal epithelial proliferation ranging from simple hyperplasia to invasive carcinoma. The exact clinicopathologic identification of this tumor is important because of favorable prognosis contrast to that of conventional ductal adenocarcinoma. Herein we report a case of surgically resected typical IPMN. A 59-year-old man had a long history of diabetes mellitus with epigastric pain of 4 months duration. Ultrasonography and computed tomographic examination revealed cystic dilatations of main pancreatic duct in the head. The patient underwent total pancreatectomy. The gross appearance showed diffuse dilatation of main pancreatic duct associated with cystic dilatation of subbranches in the uncinate process. Histologic examination revealed diffuse papillary proliferations lined by mucinous epithelium with mild atypism within ectatic ducts. No invasive carcinoma was noted. Histochemically, the papillary epithelium contained mostly neutral and acid sialomucin.
