A Case Of Ruptured Omental Pregnancy / 대한산부인과학회잡지

Abdomianl pregnancy is rare, occurring 9.2 cases per 1,000 ectopic pregnancies and encountered in 1 in 10,000-25,000 births. Omental pregnancy is extremely rare form of abdominal pregnancy that may cause life-threatening massive hemorrhage in case of rupture. The clinical characteristics is variable and physical examination by itself may be insufficient for diagnosis. Early and accurate diagnosis is necessary to decrease fetal and maternal mortality and morbidity, serious complications. We report a case of ruptured early omental pregnancy with a review of literature.

Biliary Tract & Pancreas; A Case of Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma Combined with Carcinoma of the Ampulla of Vater / 대한소화기내시경학회지

Hepatie hilar ductal carcinoma is relatively rare, but the prognosis is known to be poor because an early diagnosis is difficult. Because the majority of patients are already infiltrated into adjacent organ by itself at the diagnosis, the rate of resectability is low. The best method of treatment is curative resection, and the range of tumor invasion is very important. The preoperative diagnosis is difficult because the cholangiography may be normal in cases of superficial invasion. Multifocal lesions within the biliary tract may be identified in as many as 10 percent of patients, Especially, the papillary type has the best prognosis and is associated with multiple tumors within the bile duct. We report a case that percutaneous transhepatic cholangiogram showed normal distal common bile duct, but the hepatic hilar confluence and ampulla of Vater lesion was confirmed as adenocarcinoma.
