Title supplied by curator., Date supplied by curator., Twelfth Report, Chinese Repository, vol. 13, 1844, p. 305: March 13th, Steatomatous tumor, Wáng I, aged 48 of Nánhái, with a tumor more than a foot round at the base, situated at the course of the linea alba, between the umbilicus and sternum. It commenced more than twenty two years ago, and for nearly a year had been in an ulcerated state fungoid and fetid state. The tenseness of the skin allowed it but slight motion, and as it was uncertain how deep it extended, the only chance of prolonging his life was to extirpate it. Assisted by Drs. Marjoribanks and O’Sullivan, it was removed. It was found to originate from the lingua alba and the fascia of the rectus muscles -- to which it adhered by a broad base, and which were distinctly seen after the operation. In little more than a month he was discharged cured., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information. Review and updating of records is ongoing.
