Ovarian remnant syndrome is a rare condition which develops when functional ovarian tissue is left in situ after intended bilateral oophorectomy. It produces clinically significant syndrome, namely chronic pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea. Although the true incidence of this syndrome is unknown, an apprant increase in incidence has been reported. We have experienced a case of ovarian remnant syndrome showing chronic pelvic pain and palpable abdominal mass after difficult gynecologic operation. So, we report this case with a brief review of literatures.

Different method of operation may be applied according to type of anatomical connection. The unicornuate uterus is commonly associated with severe dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and pelvic mass. A case of noncommunicating rudimentary horn firmly attached to unicornuate uterus with severe dysmenorrhea was treated with laparoscopic excison of uterine horn and is presented with brief review of literature.

The most common clinical presentation is pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea shortly after menarche, in associated with the finding of a vaginal or pelvic mass. An accurate and prompt diagnosis is of importance to permit treatment and to assure the future fertility of the patient. The simple and adequate treatment of the condition is incision of the obstructed vaginal septum providing adequate drainage of the retained blood.

Polymyalgia rheumatica is characterized by bilateral shoulder or pelvic girdle pain, morning stiffness of greater than 45 minutes' duration, constitutional symptoms, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and a rapid response to prednisolone (< or = 20 mg/day). Although it is not a rare disease, many cases might be neglected and treated inappropriately in pain clinics. We describe here two cases of polymyalgia rheumatica that was neglected and treated inappropriately.

In past, there were some cases about foreign body, like gauze or metallic operative material, in abdominal cavity and they were associated with surgical procedure mostly. Recently we experienced a case of lost suture needle in uterus. She did not received any surgical procedures and just had 2 times of vaginal deliveries. The needle was found during pelvic surgery for hemoperitoneum. She was not known the fact that she had a foreign body in uterus. Although the patient complained chronic pelvic pain intermittently before visit hospital, she just thought of the nature of pain is like dysmenorrhea or nonspecific abdominal pain. The case considers about the moving of suture needle which was lost during vaginal delivery and fixed in the uterus and causing chronic pelvic pain. We report the case with a brief review of the literature.

Cystic adenomyosis is a rare form of adenomyosis of the uterine myometrium that has been described in older adults. This condition has not frequently been reported in the adolescent girl. The adenomyotic cyst was located within the myometrium of a 15-year-old adolescent girl suffering from acute lower abdominal pain, not dysmenorrhea. After laparoscopic operation, patients's symptoms improved. On pathology finding, the cyst diagnosed adenomyotic cyst. We report a case of adenomyotic cyst of the uterus in adolescent girl with a brief review of literatures.

Endometriosis is a common, benign and chronic gynecologic disorder. It is an estrogen dependent disease that can cause pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and infertility. Because of its high rate of recurrence, medication after surgery is inevitable. GnRH agonist, Danazol, progestogen and oral contraceptive have been conventionally used for the medical treatment of endometriosis. However, systemic side effects of those agents restrict their usage as long-term management. Increasing knowledge about the pathogenesis of endometriosis has introduced new agents which were more targeted and specified for the prevention of recurrence of endometriosis.
