摘要:

Krukenberg carcinoma of the ovary accounts for 1 to 3% of ovarian neoplasms. The nature and behavior of this particularly virulent tumor remain unclear. In this paper, 2 cases are presented of Krukenberg carcinoma metastatic from the gastrointestinal tract; in both bone marrow involvement was detected early in the course of the disease. The histopathology of the tumor is described. A comprehensive review of the literature in English is provided, and therapeutic approaches to the disease are discussed.

摘要:

Use of maternal urinary estriol excretion to monitor fetal status is often hampered by the difficulties of obtaining 24- hour specimens. Evidence is presented that timed, 12-hour overnight specimens may be substituted for the 24-hour specimens in certain patient groups. A simple nonrefrigerated transport system which facilitates outpatient estriol monitoring is also described.

摘要:

A 3-minute rapid slide assay of total urinary estrogens is available for testing in pregnant women. This is a semiquantitative, immunologic competitive latex agglutination inhibition slide test, which is reported in levels (level 1:<5 mg/liter, level 2: ≧ 5 mg/liter, level 3: ≧ 10 mg/liter, level 4: ≧ 20 mg/liter). With the use of this kit, the results of 100 samples of pregnancy urine were compared with the results from a chemical colorimetric assay procedure. There was 94% agreement between these 2 methods. There was no 2-step difference in grading. The probable future usefulness of this kit is described because of its rapidity and simplicity in testing. Its limitations are also discussed.

摘要:

Reported are 12 successful pregnancies occurring after bilateral uterine artery ligation for post-cesarean section hemorrhage. The patients remained normotensive throughout the pregnancy. There was no evidence of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) or other maternal or fetal problems. In the interim, menstrual irregularities or uterine problems were conspicuously absent. Three women required repeat ligation of the ascending branch of the uterine arteries.

摘要:

The first reported case in the English literature involving leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) and a subsequent pregnancy is presented. A review of the literature revealed only 8 previous cases-all of which were treated by tubal ligation or surgical castration. The patient in this report was 22 years of age at the time of diagnosis, the youngest age at which LPD is known to have occurred. The LPD was first noted at primary cesarean section, and 20 months later at a second cesarean section performed at 35| weeks' gestation, the LPD had advanced to a stage that suggested possible malignancy. All biopsy specimens were subsequently reported as benign LPD.

摘要:

The case is presented of a young woman with a large cervical capillary hemangioma that was surgically removed with the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser. A survey of the literature discloses 27 similar cases of hemangioma. A discussion of this form of surgical management as well as the physical characteristics of the CO2laser is presented.

摘要:

Cecal volvulus following cesarean section is rare, with only 10 previous cases reported in the literature. Because of a rising cesarean section rate and the serious morbidity and mortality frequently associated with cecal volvulus, it is important for every practicing obstetrician to be aware of this complication.
