Chinese Repository, vol. 7. 1838-1839, p. 103-104: No. 5583, June 14th, Diseased breast, Kwan Meiurh from Kaouming, 45 years old, a silk embroiderer, had a preternatural development of the left mamma, which commenced two years ago. Six months before she came to the hospital she called a Chinese physician who applied to it a succession of plasters. Soon after the integument ulcerated and the gland protruded, she was much emaciated and the breast, one third as large as her head, came down as low as the umbilicus, when she stood up and laid upon her arm in the recumbent posture, presenting a large raw surface exuding blood and the natural secretion of the gland as it was irritated by the clothes. At various points were seen the lacteal ducts greatly enlarged. (...) The disease was strictly local. The patient justly remarked “The sooner it was removed the better” (...) on the 20th of June the breast was removed. In the morning before the operation the patient being asked if she feared it replied in the negative that “now if I turn to the right hand or to the left, incline forward or backward, I am in pain but in cutting off my breast is but a single pang.” The composed and confiding manner in which she came to the operation could not escape the notice of the gentlemen who were present. Apparently no child ever lay in the arms of its parent with more confidence of safety than this woman lay upon the operation table under the knife of a foreigner. In two and a half minutes the breast was extirpated; no artery required a ligature. The patient just moved her lips as a small remaining portion of the gland was dissected out; but regained the natural expression of her countenance before she was carried from the table. No fever followed (...). The third day the patient was walking from room to room, happy in her deliverance from so gloomy a prospect, and such suffering as the disease and the maltreatment it had received, occasioned. She is most rapidly recovering., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information. Review and updating of records is ongoing.

Title supplied by curator., Date supplied by curator., Fifteenth Report of the Ophthalmic Hospital in Canton for the years 1848 and 1849, in Chinese Repository, vol. 11, 1850 : No. 32222. Large scirrhus of the breast of a young man. Fung Pih-hú, aged 20, of the district of Sinhwui had a scirrhus affection of the right mamma of six years growth. The young man was emaciated, extremities oedeomatous, countenance cadaverous; the breast had been long ulcerated and was beginning to slough, and it was manifest that if space would be found sufficient for the scalpel to pass between his disease and the grave, it must be without delay. Notwithstanding the thermometer ranged at 90° and upwards with a desire of affording him his only chance of recovery, on the 4th of July I proceeded to the operation, not without apprehension lest he might not survive. The gland was extirpated in about one minute, and the arteries secured as speedily as practicable. It measured 23 inches in circumference, and weighed a little short than three pounds. There was no sufficient healthy integument to cover the base when removed, and a space of two inches in breadth at the widest part between the flaps, required to be healed by granulations. The patient rallied remarkably well. The oedema subsided entirely in a few days, the general health improved, and in six weeks the patients was discharged comparatively well., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.
