Fifteenth Report of the Ophthalmic Hospital for the years 1847-1848, Chinese Repository, 1850, p. 270: No. 30563, Feb 19th 1849, Malignant fungoid tumor. Lí AkÍ, aged 54, of the district of Shunteh, had a tumor situated in the lumbar region and adhering to the spinuous processes. It was of thirteen years growth and fourteen inches in circumference. Though ulcerated and of fungoid appearance, it was not suspected of a malignant nature. The original tumor was removed; a second operation was performed, removing every trace of the disease, when in parts contiguous and before apparently healthy, it soon returned with increased malignity.”
