    The calcaneal bone stiffness of 246 pregnant (periodically 3-4 months interval) and 92 puerperal women (3-4 months after delivery) was measured using the ultrasound method. At the same time, the factors, which were closely related to the bone metabolism, (milk intake, Vit. D receptor gene polymorphism, past obstetrical history, body mass index and physical exercise befor pregnancy, and Ca intake, rest and urinary E3 excretion during pregnancy, and nursing method after delivery, and re-menstruation), were analyzed on each woman. At the early stage of pregnancy, calcaneal bone stiffness of pregnant women showed negative correlation with age and the number of children to be born, but showed positive correlation with physical exercise in their childhood and BMI in the early stage of pregnancy. The calcaneal bone stiffness of the pregnant women decreased significantly during the progression of the pregnancy, and it is considered that the lack of Ca intake during pregnancy is one of the reasons. The calcaneal bone stiffness of the women who fed babies on their own breast milk was not statistically different to that of non-lactating women, since the mothers try to increase Ca intake in order to compensate for Ca loss due to secretion into breast milk. There was no significant difference between re-menstruation and maternal calcaneal bone stiffness at 3-4 months of puerperium. [Adv Obstet Gynecol 50 (1); 1---9, 1998(H10.1)]

    We report a rare case of mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumor. A 58-year-old postmenopausal woman visited our clinic complaining of slight vaginal hemorrhage. A large cystic multilobular mass was found in the uterine cavity by transvaginal ultrasonography, and the cytological examination showed clusters of atypical glandular cells. Transabdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were done. The intrauterine lesion was a broad-based polypoid mass that arose from the corpus uteri. This tumor was suspected to be an endometrial carcinoma or a uterine sarcoma from the appearance of the surgical specimens, but the final pathological diagnosis was adenofibroma of the corpus uteri. Some studies have found mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumors to be rare, and generally to be malignant when in the uterus. Only 5% of such mixed tumors are adenofibromas, which are benign.
