A Case of Primary Cutaneous Endometriosis at the Unbilicus / 대한산부인과학회지

Cutaneous endometriosis seems to be more common in women who have had a pelvic or abdominal operation and primary cutaneous endometriosis is very rare. In our hospital we experienced a 41-year-old woman who complained of the appearance at the umbilicus of a nodule and had not had operation. This nodule was responsible for recurrent pain and increasing in size and it was excised. Pathology findings revealed cutaneous endometriosis. So we present a case of primary cutaneous endometriosis with a brief review of literature.

A Case of Cephalopagus / 대한산부인과학회잡지

Conjoined twins are rare congenital malformation that occurs one in 50,000-100,000 births. The site and fusion are variable. In recent years, prenatal diagnosis of conjoined twins with ultrasonogram (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been reported. Early prenatal diagnosis and assessment of the degree of conjoining provided couples with the option for pregnancy termination via vaginal delivery. We report a case of cephalopagus diagnosed prenatally by ultrasonogram in the second trimester and subsequently which was terminated, with a brief review of literature.
