In an effort to reduce the false-negative rate of PAP smear, several new technologic screening methods have recently evolved. Cervicography is one of these methods. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the screening use of cervicography as an adjunctive method and the clinical effectiveness of cervicography in korean reports, compared with other countries. And we estimated the specificity and sensitivity of cervicography in cervical cancer screening in several korean reports. The results were : 1. The sensitivity of cervicography and pap smear was 89.2% and 85.7%. 2. The false negative rate of cervicography and pap smear was 3.8% and 22.4%. 3. When cervicography and Pap smear were used conjointly, the sensitivity was higher than for cervicography or pap smear used alone(95.7% vs 89.2%, 95.7% vs 85.7%) Cervicography is one of the useful screening method for detect cervical cancer, However when cervicography are used in conjunction with Pap smear, the detection rate of cervical cancer will be increased.

A lymphatic cyst of the stomach is rare benign tumor which is composed of thin-walled lymphatic space lined by benign-appearing endothelial cells. It rarely manifests clinical symptoms, so it is found incidentally in most cases. Recently, a case of submucosal lymphatic cyst associated with early gastric cancer was experienced. An endoscopy revealed a slightly elevated, edematous lesion adjacent to the malignant ulcer. This case is herein reported with a brief review of related literature.
