A Case of Henoch-Schonlein Purpura Complicated by Acute Pancreatitis and Interstitial Pneumonitis

Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) is a systemic vasculitis involving the skin, gut, joint and kidney that is characterized by immunoglobulin A (IgA)-dominant immune deposits in target organs. Gastrointestinal involvement is known to be relatively common, but acute pancreatitis and pulmonary involvement are rare in Henoch-Schonlein purpura. We experienced a case of a 46-year-old man who developed adult-onset HSP complicated by acute pancreatitis and interstitial pneumonitis. The patient received corticosteroid therapy at a dosage of 0.5 mg/kg. After corticosteroid therapy, patient's symptoms improved. We report here the first case of HSP complicated by acute pancreatitis and interstitial pneumonitis.

A case of Malignant Mixed Mullerian Tumor of the ovary / 대한산부인과학회지

Malignant mixed Mullerian tumor of the ovary is extremely rare. This is heterologous neoplasms which apparently arise from undifferentiated mullerian stroma and is composed of mixture of malignant epithelial and stromal elements. We report a case of malignant mixed mullerian tumor of the ovary with brief literature review.

A case of Huge Isolated Retroperitoneal Leiomyoma / 대한산부인과학회지

Primary retroperitoneal neoplasms are rare, accounting for only 0.1-0.2% of all malignancies. Retroperitoneal location of leiomyoma are uncommon. Less than 2% of retroperitoneal tumors are leiomyomas. We report a case of huge retroperitonal leiomyoma mimicking solid adnexal mass with brief literature review.
