ABSTRACT
We report on a newborn girl presenting with a 2.0x1.5 cm sized pinkish, doughy lump arising between right labia majora and anus. We performed antenatal sonogram at 33 and 36th weeks gestation. A polypoid mass of 0.8x1.0 cm sized in size was noted on ultrasonography. After birth, we observed a skin-covered protruding mass not to detect other anatomic anomalies-spinal anomalies, anorectal malformations, etc. After 3 months, excision of the perineal mass was done at the Department of Pediatric Surgery of our hospital. Mature fat cells were noted on histopathological exam. To our knowledge, there are few studies in the English literatures about congenital perineal lipoma without combined structural anomalies.

Hysterectomy is one of the most common non-pregnancy-associated surgical techniques in the field of gynecology. Over the years, this laparoscopic approach has evolved to include both subtotal and total laparoscopic hysterectomy. Robot-assisted technology may attenuate the learning curve for complex laparoscopic procedures, leveling the playing field between conventional laparotomy practitioners and laparoscopists. The advantages of robotics, such as motion scaling, three-dimensional visualization, and articulated instrumentation, enables complex surgical procedures to be performed with greater dexterity, more quickly, and more easily by many surgeons. We have experienced a case of patient with carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix treated by robotic surgery. We report the first case treated by robotic total laparoscopic hysterectomy with a brief review of literature.
