    In order to study on the possibility of antenatal diagnosis of abnormal aminoaciduria utilizing amniotic fluid, aminoacid concentration in amniotic fluid was determined.
    1) Each amino acid concentration was almost in relatively narrow range in both second trimester group (12 cases) and term group (13 cases).
    2) Arginine and glycin increased from second trimester to term, and histidine decreased. Concentration of other amino acids was almost constant.
    3) After injection of highly concentrated amino acid solution into amniotic cavity, changes of the concentration were determined.
    24 hours later, one half or one third of the concentration immediatly after injection remained in amniotic fluid.
    4) From these results, antenatal diagnosis of abnormal aminoaciduria was considered to be possible by determination of amino acid in amniotic fluid but repeated examination was considered to be necessary because of dynamic change of these concentration

    The melanogenic ovarian tumor, particularly as a primary lesion, is extremely rare. In the world literature, only 15 cases have been reported since Andrews' case (1901), but none in Japan.
    We experienced the first case with the primary melanogenic ovarian tumor in Japan, which was studied cytologically, histologically and electron microscopically.
    The case: A 48 year-old Japanese woman, gravida 9, para 3-0-6-3, who complained of lower abdominal distension and pain, and hypermenorrhea, was laparotomized under the diagnosis of the uterine myoma and the left ovarian tumor. In the abdominal cavity, the left man's fist sized, smooth-surfaced black ovarian mass filled with serous black fluids and the uterine rnyoma and 100ml of black ascites were seen. The peritoneal surface including the large net was black-stained like spots and patches. The careful cytological, histological and electron microscopic examinations were performed. Intracellular black pigments were confirmed melanin granules by positive Fontana' s reaction, bleaching reaction and Lillie's reaction. But in spite of careful examinations, these melanin containing cells were not melanocytes, but macrophages, and only mucinous cystadenoma was found.
    It was concluded that, though melanocytes were not confirmed in the ovarian mass, this tumor was considered as the primary melanogenic ovarian tumor originating from the ovarian teratoid tumor, probably benign
