Title supplied by curator., Date supplied by curator., Sixteenth Report of the Ophthalmic Hospital for the Year 1850 and 1851, printed at the office of the Chinese Repository, p. 22: No 37596, October 7th, 1850, Glandular tumor under the ear, Liáng Siun, aged 30, a farmer of the district of Shunteh, had a glandular tumor on the right side of his face, extending from the auditory foramen to the clavicle perpendicularly, and from the angle of the mouth to the mastoid process horizontally, and measuring twenty-two inches in circumference, and projected six inches and more from its base. It was highly vascular, and from previous inflammation the superincumbent skin and integument adhered extensively to the tumor, rendering the dissection tedious and difficult, which was performed, however, under the influence of chloroform. The whole time occupied in the dissection and taking up of the arteries was about thirty minutes. The chloroform was required to be reapplied several times. The weight of the tumor was about four pounds. The loss of blood was considerable, but the patient sustained it well, and without any untoward symptoms, perfectly recovered, and was discharged in five weeks in good health., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.

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.

Title supplied by curator., Date supplied by curator., Eighth Report of the Ophthalmic Hospital, Chinese Repository, vol. 7, 1838-1839, p. 98-99: No. 4903, Tumor of peculiar character. March 5th. Choo Yihleang, aged 31, a shoemaker of Kaauyaou, had a tumor on the right side of the neck, as large as his head, and as it appeared from a front view. It was situated beneath the sterno-cleido-mastoidous muscle, and the superficial fascia. It extended from the ear to the clavicle, and from upon the trachea to the posterior edge of the above muscle, which was drawn very tense above it. When the patient entered the hospital it was firmly fixed, scarcely admitting a perceptible motion in any direction. At a point on the surface near the apex was indicated a slight collection of fluid. The patient was blooming in health and resolutely desirous of its extirpation. He was admitted to the hospital, and in the course of a week or ten days, after repeated examinations it was manifestly more movable, a fact that the patient also observed. (...) On the 25th April the operation was performed, assisted by Messrs Cox, Jardine, and Holgate. (...) The preceding day he requested not to be tied, assuring me he would not move a limb, or speak a word. When the moment arrived instead of shrinking from the crisis, he put one hand on the table, and skipped upon it with great agility, as if joyful in the prospect of being freed of his troublesome companion. (...) in four minutes [the tumor was] completely out. (...) During the operation the patient was perfectly collected and did not utter a groan; spoke with natural voice when spoken to, and repeatedly requested the operator might not be alarmed. The tumor weighed 5 1/3 lbs. It was surrounded by a firm wall an inch thick, resembling in hardness the full grown cacao nut, except at one point, then came another layer of three quarters of an inch of white pulpy substance, and centrally there were several ounces of milky fluid quite inodorous. The large muscle resumed its natural place, the wound healed chiefly by the first intention and in twenty days the patient in good health and with unequivocal sentiments of gratitude, returned to his family., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.
