ABSTRACT
We described a 65-year-old female of 45,X/46,XX Turner's syndrome associated with patent ductus arteriosus who was admitted due to exertional dyspnea and palpitation. This patient had not spontaneous mensturation and had a short stature without webbed neck and a sexual infantilism. Chromosomal aberrations cause primarily structural defects of cardiovascular system, and a variety of structural aberrations involving the X chromosome can cause partial or complete Turner's syndrome. In Turner's syndrome, bicuspid aortic valve or coarctation of aorta is frequently combined, also aortic root dilatation, partial anomalous venous drainage, hypoplastic left heart, ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect has been reported. However, this patient had not abnormality in aortic valve and whole aorta. Patent ductus arteriosus in 45,X/46,XX Turner's syndrome have not been reported in Korea. We report this case with a brief review of the literature.

Intrabronchial nerilemmoma is very rare disease. Neurilemmoma has been thought to arise from schwann cell, has been reported to occur in almost any anatomic location. The incidence of primary neurogenic tumors of the lung has been estimated to be 0 to 2 percent of all lung tumors. These tumors are predominantly(75%) associated with neurofibromatosis of von Recklinghausen's disease. To our knowledge, no case of benign solitary endobronchial neurilemmoma has been reported in Korea. This paper presents a case of benign solitary endobronchial neurilemmoma with a brief review of the pertinent literature. A 19 year old female visited our medical hospital with the symptoms of chest discomfort and pain. Bronchoscopy and chest CT scan revealed a mass on the left upper 1obar bronchus. Left upper lobectomy was performed successfully and histological section revealed a neurilemmoma.

We descrive a 23-year-old female of 46, XXqi Turner's syndrome associated with large atrial sepatal defect(secundum type) and mitral valve prolapse who was admitted due to amenorrhea, sexual infantilism and exertional dyspnea. This patient had only one spontaneous menstrual period at the age of 15 and had a short stature without webbed neck. Chromosomal aberrations cause primarily structural defects of cardiovasculaqr system, and a variety of structural aberrations involving the X chromosome and cause partial or complete Turner's syndrome. In Turner's syndrome, bicuspid aortic valve or coarctaton of aorta is frequently combined, also aortic root dilatation, partial anomalous venous drainage, hypoplastic left heart and ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect has been reported. However, this patient had not abnormalities in aortic valve and whole aorta. Atrial septal defect simultaneously with mitral valve prolapse in 46 XXqi Turner's syndrome have not been reported in Korea. We report this case with a brief review of the literature.
