Description:
Title supplied by curator., Date supplied by curator., Fifteenth Report, Chinese Repository, vol. 11, 1859, p. 273: No. 32186: Tumor one foot in circumference surrounding the middle finger. Kwang Su, aged 41, a farmer of the district Singhwui, had a tumor surrounding the middle finger on his left hand, it formed a perfect sphere and measured one foot. There existed a varicose state of the veins of the arm. The venous arch on the back of the hand was twice its natural size. Under the influence of chloroform the tumor was removed by disarticulating the finger at the metacarpal joint. On dissection, the tumor was found to be of a glandular, or semi-cartilaginous structure, quite homogenous throughout, and adherent to the bone. The tip of the finger and its nail were just discernible. One artery, and the principal vein, both required a ligature. In about one month the wound healed, leaving him a useful hand., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.
