, Juhui Kim, Mi-Kyung Kim, Yun Hwan Kim, Seung Cheol Kim Lymphomas that originate from the female genital tract are very rare. Primary cervical lymphoma only accounts for less than 1% of all extra-nodal lymphomas. Clinical manifestations of primary cervical lymphoma can be nonspecific, vaginal bleeding being the most common symptom, and this makes timely diagnosis often difficult. Prognosis and optimal treatment have yet been established due to the rarity of the disease. In this article, a rare case of primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of cervix is reported with a review of the available literature.

, Seung Cheol Kim After menopause, the incidence of osteoporosis and cardiovascular is increased and the cause of both disease is estrogen deficiency. So we evaluated the relationship between serum lipid profile which is a good indicator of the cardiovascular disease and spinal bone mineral density. Spinal BMD was measured by dual photon absorptiometry and serum lipid profile and alkaline phosphatase, total calcium measured before initiating hormone replacement therapy. Z score was correlated with inversely with alkaline phosphatase(r=-0.35, p<0.05). Serum lipid level were divided into high and low risk category, after adjustment of risk category total cholesterol had significant affects on relationship with spinal Z score. Our results suggest that postmenopausal women with low Z score also have high total cholesterol should be cosidered as a special high risk group for prevention of cardioavascular disease.
, Kyung Soon Lee, Young Ju Kim, Hye Won Chung, Jung Ja Ahn Thanatophoric dwarfism is a short limb dwarf condition which usually results in death shortly after birth. It has been confused with achondroplastic and another congenital short limb dwarf condition. We now report a case of thanatophoric dwarfism in a 29-year-old woman, based on prenatal sonographic, radiological and autopsy findings with a review of literatures.
, Sung-Ae Jung, Seong-Eun Kim, Jong Soo Lee, Seung Hyun Nam, Jeong Eun Shin, Hae Sung Moon, Seung Cheol Kim, Kwon Yoo In Lynch syndrome II, colon cancer was associated with endometrial and ovarian cancer. The aim of this study was an evaluation for the clinicopathologic characteristics of rectosigmoid adenomas on preoperative sigmoidoscopy in gynecologic cancer patients.
A total 187 gynecologic cancer patients(139 cervical, 35 ovarian, 13 endometrial cancer) and 58 normal controls were reviewed sigmoidscopic finding and pathologic reports retrospectively from September 1993 to March 2001.
The mean age of gynecologic cancer patients was 54(38-82) year-old and normal controls was 50(20-68) year-old. Total 26 adenomas were in 21 patients(11.2%) and 3 adenomas were in 3 normal controls(5.2%). The incidence of adenomas was 9.4% in cervical cancer, 8.6% in ovarian cancer and 38.5% in endometrial cancer. Multiple adenomas were in 5 gynecologic cancer patients and 0 normal controls. The incidence of advanced adenoma was 12.5% in cervical cancer, 25.5% in ovarian cancer, 83.5% in endometrial cancer and 33.3% in normal controls. The location of adenoma was 23.1% in rectum and 76.9% in sigmoid colon.
The incidence of adenomas and multiple adenomas were higher in gynecologic cancer patients than normal controls but not significantly. The incidence of advanced adenoma and adenomas were significantly higher in endometrial cancer than normal controls. Colonoscopic evaluation of whole colon will be recommanded in gynecologic cancer than sigmoidoscopy.
