A Case of Management of maternal Vegetative State during Pregnancy / 대한산부인과학회잡지

In the management of the traumatized gravid and her fetus, diagnostic tests and therapy should be directed primarily at the care of the mother and should not be delayed or compromised because of the pregnancy. Because many factors can damage when the mother is unconscious, fetal well-being should be assessed by serial biophysical profile scoring. If the mother's condition is stable as in the chronic vegetative state, elective delivery might best be performed at a gestational age of 32 to 34 weeks.

A Case of Primary Malignant Lymphoma of the Ovary / 대한산부인과학회잡지

A 41-year-old woman was operated under the impression of ovarian malignancy. The ovarian mass was diagnosed as a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, diffuse large cell type of B lineage pathologically. Because regional lymph nodes and bone marrow were not involved and Ga67 whole body bone scan was normal, we suspected that ovary was a primary site of lymphoma. After six cycles of CHOP (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine, prednisone) chemotherapy, complete remission status was maintained for 16 months. We report a case of primary ovarian lymphoma with a review of literatures.
