Eighth Report, Chinese Repository, vol. 7, 1838-1837, p. 97: No. 4606, Gourd-shaped tumor, December 18th, 1837. Kwan Nanking, aged 42, of Nanhae, also of lymphatic temperament had a tumor pendulous from his left side immediately over the hip joint, precisely resembling a gourd. Its bulbous portion was about one foot circumference, and its neck four or five inches long, and the circular attachment of its peduncle about two inches diameter. Its lower part was in an ulcerated state. On the 28th of February it was removed and the patient was presently well. Its singular form and attachment entitle it to notice.
