Adenomyotic cyst is very rare disease, their sizes are mostly lesser 5mm. The intrauterine adenomyotic cyst may arise from progressive expansion of cyst due to progressive menstrual bleeding. Authors experienced a case of large adenomyotic cyst within myometrium occuring in a l9-year-old woman, and who was accompanied with endometriosis. The cyst was about 3 x 3em sized, and had chocolate colored thick viscous contents, We experienced one case of adenomyotic cyst which was thought to be degenerated uterine myoma, so we report the case with a brief review of the concerned literatures.

Twelve cases with paralytic elbow due to a traumatic lesion of the brachial plexus (eleven cases) and to poliomyelitis (one case) were treated by elbow flexorplasty from April, 1978 to February, 1984 Seven cases with available muscle for transfer were treated by muscle transfer, three cases withwhole arm type brachial plexus injury were treated by gracilis muscle transplantation, and two relatively fresh cases by neurotization. The three operated groups were assessed in range of active elbow motion, muscle power testing, and electromyography at final follow-up. In eight cases, the elbow flexorplasty were augmented by shoulder arthrodesis. The mean length of follow-up was twenty two months. The mean arc of restored active elbow motion was 93 degrees following muscle transfer, 100 degrees following gracilis muscle transplatation, and 35 degrees following neurotization. The overall mean arc of active elbow motion was 77.5 degrees. In the muscle testing, the mean scores of the elbow flexor power were 3+, 4−, and 3− following muscle transfer, grcilis muscle transplantation, and neurotization respectively. The overall mean score of restored elbow flexor power was 3− . The electromyographic findings also revealed corresponding restoration of the action potential in the flexor muscle in the three groups. One case of the transfer group failed after sternocleidomastiod muscle transfer, who subsequently received gracilis muscle transplantation with satisfactory result.

Systemic lupus erythematosus is a systemic disorder which has frequent involvement of gastrointestinal tract. Non specific symptoms such as anorexia, nausea, diarrhea and abdominal pain are well known symptoms when the gastrointestinal tract is involved. The most feared gastrointestinal complication of systemic lupus erythematosus is lupus enteritis. The pathological change in lupus enteritis is usually a result of mesenteric vasculitis. Major complications such as intestinal bleeding and perforation may occur and sometimes result in sugery. Because of high mortality rate in case of major complications, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment is very important. We experienced three patients with lupus enteritis who presented with severe abdominal pain and dirrhea. They were diagnosed by characteristic radiographical findings of small bowel series and barium study. All radiographical findings has been resolved completely with the steroid therapy. Conclusively we can induce complete remission by steroid therapy alone, if we diagnose lupus enteritis in the early period of disease course.
