Fifteenth Report of the Ophthalmic Hospital, Chinese Repository, vol. 11, 1850, p. 271: No. 31200, 30th April 1849, Steatomatous tumor, Shin Ko-hau, aged 32, of Pwanyü, a seller of poultry, has a steatomatous tumor situated on the inside of the right knee of six years growth. He was very emaciated, had a cadaverous expression of countenance, and the tumor over a foot circumference, was ulcerated at the apex. Along the ulcer extensive sloughing soon commenced, rendering it necessary to extirpate the tumor without delay, or healthy integument sufficient to form the flaps would not remain. Accordingly on the 9th May, it was removed, for the most part union by the first intention followed, and in a fortnight, the poor man, who a few weeks previous could move only with difficulty by the aid of a staff, and who himself regarded his case as hopeless, returned to his family perfectly well and happy.
