ABSTRACT
Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is a relatively rare form of uterine sarcoma. Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) of the myometrium compose just 0.2% of uterine malignant tumors. Low-grade stromal sarcoma has extended beyond the uterus in 40% of cases at the time of diagnosis, but the extra-uterine spread is confined to the pelvis in two thirds of the cases. A few cases of extra-uterine endometrial stromal sarcoma have been reported in literature concerning the ovary and pelvis. We have experienced a Post-total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingooophorectomy retroperitoneal endometrial stromal sarcoma, so we report this case with a brief review of literature.

I experienced a case of a congenital intramural cyst of the uterine fundus. It was composed of a single layer of non-ciliated low cuboidal epithelium without associated with endometrial stroma and was found to be derived from the mesonephric duct. This case is presented with a brief review of the literature.

Solid and papillary epithelial neoplasm (SPEN) of the pancreas is a rare tumor with low malignant potentiality that usually occurs in young females. Preoperative evaluation, especially radiologic tests, including ultrasonography and CT scan, is helpful in the diagnosis. These studies demonstrate a well-demarcated large mass with solid and cystic portions, frequently in the tail or body of the pancreas. Complete resection is usually curative, however local invasion and/or metastasis may occur. The authors report a case of a solid and papillary epithelial neoplasm of the pancreatic body in a 14-year old child at St. Benedict Hospital and review the literature.

An elastofibroma, which is a rare soft tissue tumor, was excised from the left subscapular region of a 82-year-old woman. An elastofibroma is a slow-growing, pseudotumoral lesion of the soft tissues of the chest wall with peculiar radiological (CT, MR) and ultrasonographic images, and histological patterns. All cases need to undergo a biopsy in order to rule out a sarcoma. An elastofibroma is a benign tumor. If left untreated, it can grow to a considerable size and become symptomatic. Therefore it needs to be closely observed and its nature confirmed by a biopsy. This condition is rarely encountered in Korea. However, more patients could be diagnosed if more careful attention to elastofibroma is paid.

Mature cystic teratoma of the ovary is the most common ovarian germ cell tumor and benign, but malignant transformation occurs in less than 2% of benign mature teratoma. Of the malignancies arising in teratomas, squamous cell carcinoma is the most common, however, carcinoid tumors or adenocarcinomas arising in mature cystic teratoma are uncommon, especially simultaneously. We present an unusual case of premenopausal woman having carcinoid tumor and mucinous adenocarcinoma simultaneously arising in ovarian muture cystic teratoma.
