ABSTRACT
Lymphangioma of the uterine corpus is a rare tumor and the authors report one case discovered per-operatively. A review of the literature permits to bring out its essential characteristics as far as clinic, etiopathogenesis, evolution and therapy are concerned. This completely benign tumor is more an anatomo-pathological curiosity than a true gynecological problem.

The authors study 56 cases of vaginal hysterectomy divided in two groups of 28, one of which received antibiotics prophylaxis at the time of the procedure. The incidences on post-operative fever, infection of the vaginal section and the number of urinary infections are significantly much lower in the group treated.

The authors report a case of prostatic cancer in a 50-year-old patient, for which the sole clinical manifestation was recurrent hemospermia. There was an undoubted connection, in this case, between the hemospermia and the cancer, which is rare. The treatment was endoscopic associated with cobalt therapy. The follow-up is four years.

Among the uterine malformations responsible for infertility, uterus bipartitus is one of the most amenable to surgery. The operation devised by Bret and Palmer is intended for those cases where the malformation is due to non-resorption of the medial septum and not for those where it is due to lack of fusion of the Mullerian ducts. The results are excellent, since 70% or 80% of previously infertile women subsequently became pregnant.
