A Case of Cystic Lymphangioma of the Scrotum and Retroperitoneum was Detected in Fetus / 대한산부인과학회잡지

Cystic lymphangioma is a relatively rare congenital malformation of the lymphatic system. It is very rare that retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma was detected by prenatal ultrasonography. There has been no case reported that scrotal cystic lymphangioma was detected by prenatal ultrasonography. We detected a cystic structure with multiseptation in the scrotum at 30 weeks gestation. In addition, we detected the same structure in the retroperitoneum at 35 weeks gestation by routine ultrasonography. Because of increasing size of the cyst, we performed induction delivery at 38 weeks gestation. Operation of the neonate was performed on the 13th day after birth by a pediatric surgeon and the mass was excised and confirmed as cystic lymphangioma. We experienced a case of huge cystic lymphangioma of the retroperitoneum and scrotum by prenatal sonography and report our case with a brief review of literature.

A Case of Krukenberg Tumor arising from Appendix / 대한산부인과학회잡지

Krukenberg tumor arising from an appendiceal neoplasm is rare. The 30 cases of appendiceal Krukenberg tumor have been reported since 1970 currently. The tumors can be easily overlooked because appendiceal tumors are rare and its size is very small so that they can be seen normally to the naked eye. The proper treatment of tumors which spreads from the appendix to the ovary does not exist as of yet, so the mean survival time is only 7-9 months and the prognosis is not good. Therefore, when the ovarian tumor that secrete the mucus substance is found and primary origin cannot be found, diagnostic appendectomy is recommended. Authors report a case of the 46-year-old woman who admitted with chief complaints of palpable abdominal mass which reveals Krukenberg tumor from appendix.
