    Over the past 17 years, 52 cases of double cancers were encountered at our department. In these 52 cases, we recently carried out a clinical and statistical analysis as to the yearly distribution of cases, the site-and organ-wise distribution of cancers, the distribution of patient ages and the interval between the onset of one cancer and that of the other cancer. Of the cancers in the field of gynecology, ovarian and vulvar cancers were frequently accompanied by an additional cancer. The most frequently seen combinations of cancers were vulvar-cervical cancers, cervical-mammary cancers and ovarian-mammary cancers. The percentage of patients in whom the interval between the onset of two cancers was longer than 1 year was higher than the percentage of patients in whom the interval was shorter than 1 year. In 75% of the total cases, the interval was shorter than 5 years. An analysis of the yearly distribution of cases disclosed a recent tendency of increase in double cancer cases. These results suggest that not only the recurrence of a cancer but also the onset of an additional cancer requires a close attention during follow-up of cancer patients after treatment.

    There are many operative methods in making a new vagina for treating congenital vaginal defect. On our two patients, who had Rokitansky-Küstner-Hauser syndrome, we have performed colpopoiesis using sigmoid colon graft.
    The important points in chosing the operative method are safty, naturality and permanency. Transplantation of the sigmoid colon is considered to be ideal for colpopoiesis if the surgeon is well trained in intestinal surgery.

    The Patient was a 7-year-old female admitted for treatment of an ovarian tumor. Serum estradiol was elevated to 87.4 pg/ml. Laparotomy revealed a fist-sized solid tumor of the left ovary and a small amount of straw-colored clear ascitic fluid. Histologically the resected mass was typical juvenile granulosa cell tumor. Two neoplastic cell types were seen in the histologic and cytologic specimens : granulosa-cell and thecacell. Both were much more atypical than those of adult granulosa cell tumor. Although the number of mitoses was rather high, there have been no signs of recurrence for 3 1 / 2 years since the operation and chemotherapy.
