RESUMEN
@#Plasmacytoma is a rare disease entity that represents only 5%‒10% of all plasma cell neoplasms. It is rarely found in the female genital tract. There are 8 identified case reports on plasmacytoma of the cervix. The clinical symptoms are nonspecific and biopsy with immunohistochemistry is used to diagnose. Due to the paucity of cases, there is no standard treatment modality. We present a case of a 34-year-old patient who had a history of postcoital bleeding. Biopsy and immunohistochemistry were done which confirmed the diagnosis of plasmacytoma. Total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy with transposition of ovaries was the chosen treatment option.

Introduction @#The increasing prevalence of children in conflict with the law is a problem in Metro Manila. This study aimed to understand the factors, specifically parental discipline, peer delinquency, and neighborhood disorganization that predispose a child to engage in delinquent acts.@*Methods@#This was a correlational study in which children in conflict with the law who were institutionalized at the Manila Youth Reception Center were surveyed. The subjects were given three sets of questionnaires which measured parental discipline, peer delinquency, and neighborhood disorganization, respectively. Spearman's rho correlation coefficient was computed using SPSS.@*Results@#Delinquent behavior is very weakly and positively correlated with peer delinquency (r = 0.18) and neighborhood status (r = 0.10), and is very weakly and inversely correlated with parental discipline (r - -0.10. These correlations were not statistically significant. @*Conclusion @#The study showed that parental discipline, peer delinquency, and neighborhood disorganization may influence a child's delinquent behavior.
