Lo Wanshun and Case No. 2214
Description:
Title supplied by curator., Date based on report of patient's surgery., Peter Parker First Quarterly Report of the Hospital, Chinese Repository 1836-1837, vol. 5, p. 457: Sarcomatous tumor. Lo Washun, aged 41. This interesting woman of the first society of her native village, had been twenty years afflicted with a tumor upon the left side of the face. It was situated below the ear, extending forward below the cheek, and down upon the side of the neck, so as nearly to touch the clavicle. As usual, the traces of the cautery and escharotics of the native practitioners were seen upon it; and the patient stated that it had been lanced, and the hemorrhage in consequence was arrested with difficulty. After having attended to the general health, on the 15th December the tumor was successfully removed. The patient endured the operation with fortitude characteristic of the Chinese. The loss of blood was considerable, she vomited but did not faint. She feared lest a large eschar might disfigure her face. By making the incision rather perpendicularly, from the ear towards the trachea, sufficient facial integument was preserved to bring the wound behind and below the angle of the jaw. The wound healed by the first intention and in ten days the dressing was wholly removed. The face had nearly its natural appearance. Grateful and happy, she returned to her husband and family., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.

Case No. 1675 and Leang Ashing
Description:
Title supplied by curator., Date supplied by curator., Fourth Report, Chinese Repository, vol. 5, 1836-1837, p 325-327: No 1675 Sarcomatous tumor. Leang Ashing, aged 27, an artificial flower maker, came to the hospital August 5th, had an enormous tumor on the right side of his face extending from near a line with the zigomatic process superiorly (...) It was 18 1/2 inches in circumference. It had been growing for more than ten years, by the application of cautery (the moxa is commonly used) it had been converted into a loathsome ulcer at its apex. Though deep-seated it appeared practicable to remove it. The patient’s constitution had not then suffered much, and there seemed no objections to delaying the operation till cool weather should return. At the expiration of more than two months the man came back and to my great surprise the healthy countenance had given place to the sallow and cadaverous of one fast verging to the grave. The tumor had become exceedingly fetid, and so decayed internally so as to admit a probe in three or four inches in different directions. After the system had been braced up for a short time by a course of tonic treatment, the patient was apprized of his situation, the certainty of a speedy death if left alone, the possible unfortunate termination of extirpated, and the encouraging prospect that that he might live for years if he submitted to the operation. (...) Himself and a brother gave a writing, certifying that they requested the removal of the tumor, and if successful should rejoice but if otherwise it was tcen che ming, “the will of heaven”, or fate, no blame should be incurred upon the operator. On the 8th of November the tumor was extirpated. (...) During the incisions through the integuments and the dissecting out of the tumor he did not move a muscle, change a feature of his countenance, or draw one long breath, so that apprehensions were even entertained that he was insensible; but if spoken to he answered deliberately and correctly. Subsequently he informed me that he was sensible of all that was done, but putting his arms across each other, he said “I determined not to move.”, In passing the sutures near the ear he started involuntarily a few times. On raising him up to change his bloody clothes, he began to faint and was threatened with spasms, but soon recovered as he was laid down (...) Patient complained of a swelling on the side of the neck, and I found that some blood had settled beneath the plastisma myoides and on pressure that there was emphysema. Applied a spirit lotion over the part. Patient comfortable (...) Its lips had united in several places by the first intention. (...) Now 7th found considerable fetor like that of the tumor, and a thin unhealthy discharge. The coagulated blood thrown off was very black. (...) more vitality in the parts, free discharge of pus of a more healthy character (!), less fetor. (...) On the tenth from the operation, the discharge had ceased and the whole was healed. There is partial paralysis of the buccinators muscle, and of the under eyelid and the lips are drawn a little askew. General health is much improved. He seems properly to appreciate the favor he received, and is very ready to tell to others what has been done for him., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.

Case No. 3488 and Woo Pun
Description:
Title supplied by curator., Date supplied by curator., Seventh report, Chinese Repository vol. 6. 1836-1837, p. 436-437: No. 3488. Cartilaginous tumor. Woo Pun, aged 41, a shoemaker of Pwanyü, have been afflicted with a large unshapen tumor upon the left side of his neck. It hung pendulous from the submaxilliary, extending backward over the external jugular vein and carotid artery, forwards to the opposite side of the trachea and downwards to the breast. For the last ten years its growth was rapid, and from its magnitude it had become very cumbersome. It was as large as the man’s head, and so hard as not to yield to the pressure of the thumb. Centrally it was diseased and having perforated by an escharotics of an Chinese practitioner, it emitted a most offensive discharge. The aperture was half an inch in diameter and as regular as if formed by a drill. The patient kept it closed with a stopple, every morning evacuating some ounces of offensive fluid. His constitution had begun to suffer. On the 19th June, assisted by Messrs Cox, Cullen and Jardine, the tumor was removed in about five minutes. Several veins of considerable size were divided. (...) The tumor was two feet in circumference and weighed 7 lbs. The patient scarce uttered a groan. In twenty minutes he was comfortable in bed. (...) At 1 o’clock A.M. a servant called; and when I arrived at the hospital, the poor man was apparently gasping his last. He was very bloody and evidently made a desperate struggle without success to loosen the bandage. The neck was instantly freed of the roller. His pulse was just perceptible, his extremities were already cold; he foamed at the nose, and breathed stertorously, as in apoplexy. His mouth was immediately freed of phlegm, and his nose of blood; stimulants were applied, and also administered internally, and bottles of warm water put to his feet. (...) Probably the brother [his brother?] fell asleep and awoke only by the almost dying struggle of the patient. Two or three minutes delay in coming to his relief might have been too late! (...) In one month he was perfectly recovered. He has repeatedly visited the hospital. His constitution was wonderfully recovered and from the inroads of the disease and he again enjoys excellent health, and evinced unbound gratitude. He sees to regard the favor received, as conferring on him full liberty to introduce and all his diseased friends. This is very uniformly the case with such as have received any special benefit., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.
