This study was performed to find out the relationship between DNA pattern by flow cytometry and the prognosis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma, The subjects were 71 patients who were admitted to Catholic University Medical College Kangnam St. Marys Hospital from September 1983 to May 1989 under the diagnosis of cervical squamous cell carainoma. Samples were obtained from the subjects before chemotherapy or radiation therapy, and a through follow up stduy was carried out an the subjects. The authors obserued the relations between flow cytometric DNA pattern and clinical stage, age of patients, histopathological findings and tumor markers, with the following results. 1. The S-phase of the cell cycle increased significantly in Stages I, ll and III-IV compared to that of Stage O.However, there was no difference between Stages in G0/G1 phase and G2/M phase. 2. The incidence of aneuploid tumor increased significantly according to stage with the rates of increase reaching 22, 22%, 31.57%, 44.44% and 68.75% respectively in Stages 0, I, II, and Ill-lV. 3. The incidence of aneuploid tumor increased significantly depending on the age of patients with the rates standing at 21.42%, 31.58%, 40.90% and 68.75% respectively in the groups of below 40, 41-50, 51-60, and 61 years and over. 4. As for the relation between histopathological findings and the incidenee of aneuploid tumor, no difference was found according to the degree of differentiation, but there were significant differences between the keratinization group(23.07%) and the non keratinization group(51.11%).

Malignant mixed miillerian tumor (MMMT) was one of the rare uterine sarcoma. This tumor is composed of sarcoma and carcinoma. Primary MMMT in the peritoneum is among the rarest sites for MMMT. MMMT is highly malignant and the prognosis is grave due to frequent recurrence and metastasis. In the world literature, only 22 cases with primary MMMT of the peritoneum have been reported and most of these were single report. We report one case of primary MMMT in the peritoneum with a brief review.

Tuberculous bronchoesophageal fistula is a rare disease. We experienced a case of the tuberculous bronchoesophageal fistula, which was found by endoscopy and surgically confirmed. A sixty seven years old female patient complained of foreign body sensation in the throat and frequent aspiration, especially after liquid meal. Esophagoscopic ex- aminatian showed the orifice of the fistula in the midesophagus at the level of 28 cm from the incisors. Esophagogram showed bronchoesophageal fistula between midesophagus and the right intermediate bronchus. A bronchoscopy visualized fistulous tract with granulation in the right intermediate bronchus. Biopsy specimens obtained from the bronchus revealed the esophageal tissue with granulation and multinucleated giant cells. Fistulectomy with wrapping procedure was performed successfully. Surgical pathologic findings confirmed a small focal granuloma and chronic inflammations, compatible with tuberculosis. There was no evidence of malignancy at the specimens. She was treated with anti-tuberculous agents and became well.

Hepatoblastoma (HB) is a rare embryonic malignant tumor of the liver. Most morphological studies on HB have limited to the histological characteristics and only 3 cases of HB have been described in the cytology literature. We present 2 cases of HB occurring in children aged 1 year and 3 years, respectively. The distinctive cytologic features of fine needle aspiration of HB were clusters of tumor cells showing acinar and trabecular pattern, smaller tumor cells with a high nuclear-cytopalsmic ratio and hyperchromatic nuclei having prominent nucleoli, and the presence of extramedullary hematopoiesis and osteoid material. These features were also found in the cell block and the biopsy specimen, and appeared very useful in the differentiation of HB from hepatocellular carcinoma.
