OBJECTIVE: To evaluate prospectively the efficacy and accuracy of transvaginal sonography(TVS), saline infusion sonohysterography(SIS) and hysteroscopy in the exploration of the uterine cavity. METHODS: 71 consecutive patients were evaluated with SIS who showed abnormal TVS findings, using saline instilled through endocervically placed balloon catheter with concurrent vaginal sonography. Among them, 41 patients also underwent hysteroscopy and surgery. Transvaginal sonography, sonohysterography, hysteroscopy were compaired with pathologic reports. RESULTS: Fifty-five of 71 sonohysterogram(77.5%) showed abnormal findings, Among them 41 patients have done hysteroscopy and biopsy. According to pathologic reports, sixteen patients were noted to have myoma(39.0%), twelve patients had polyps (21.3%), and both showed most frequent lesions. TVS, SIS, and hysteroscopy had a sensitivity of 94.4%, 91.1%, 94.4%, and a specificity of 40%, 42.8%, 60.0%, respectively and showed not so much different in detection rate. In case of submucosal myoma and polyps, hysteroscopy showed 100% sensitivity, and 92% specificity and showed much higher detection rate compared with SIS (81.2%, 92.0%). CONCLUSION: Transvaginal sonography and sonohysterography are good office diagnostic test in case of detecting variable gynecologic intrauterine abnormalities.

A Histologic finding of the Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita( CMTC) is non-specific, but dilated capillaries and increased number of vessels are often observed. Capillary hemangioma, mostly represented by strawberry nevus, may show various clinical manifestations. We report a case of Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita, which may be an unusual clinical presentation of capillary hemangioma.

Generalized granuloma annulare is a rare skin disease presenting generalized eruption with a distinctive histologic picture. The age of onset of generalized granuloma annulare differs from that of localized granuloma annulare. Most of the patients with generalized granuloma annulare were in the fifth to seventh decades and cases of generalized granuloma annulare in infancy or in early childhood have been rarely reported. We herein report two cases of generalized granuloma annulare in 45- and 18-month-old boys, who is the youngest patient yet reported in the Korean literature. The histopathologic findings were compatible with granuloma annulare and all lesions completely involuted in two months after administration of topical or systemic corticosteroids.

Authors experienced a 59-year-old male patient with the lymphoma of the small iritestine which involved the adjoining mesenteric lymph nodes, the parietaI pleura, and the skin. The skin lesions, simulating necrotizing angiitis, were deep purple colored, asymptomatic, tense, hemorrhagic bullae with soft consistency on the both thighs and left infraorbital area. He had extranodal type, and diffuse, poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma by the Rappaport classification, and stage IV by the Ann Arbor staging classification. After about 50 days of clinical manifestations, he was died mainly due to massive intestinal bleeding.
