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. 20: No. 35181, March 25th, 1850. Steatomatous tumor, nineteen and a half inches in circumference. Lí Shí, aged 43, of the district of Pwanyü, had a steatomatous tumor, which seventeen years since commenced just above the clavicle of the left side. When she presented herself at the Hospital, it had attained the abovementioned dimensions, and hung pendulous down into the axilla and over the breast, descending nearly to a level with the umbilicus. Its surface was traversed by large veins, and in several instances there had been copious hemorrhage from superficial ulcerations in the most pendent portion. On the 10th April half a drachm of chloroform was administered, and in less than two minutes she was perfectly insensible, when the tumor was extirpated in two minutes. It weighed 2 3/4 lbs. (...) Having eaten a hearty breakfast, the patient rejected it soon after the tumor was removed. She readily recovered from the effect of the chloroform, and uttered her “many thanks to Jesus and her (?) Father in Heaven”. Before the operation she expressed a determination to put her trust in Christ should she survive the operation. She was a woman of great natural loveliness of character, and seemed much interested in the Gospel during her abode in the Hospital. In three weeks she was perfectly well. Her kind and devoted husband stood at her head as she lay upon the table during the operation, and as he witnessed her deathlike appearance while insensible, he was the impersonation of grief, but this was momentary; as she revived, it was difficult to say which of them was the happiest., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.

Hypertrophy of both breasts of ten years growth, successfully removed under the influence of chloroform. Lú-shú, aged 42, of the district of Nanhai, first presented herself at the hospital, April 17th; and when about to operate upon her, after a few weeks preparatory treatment, her impatient opium-smoking husband, (268) suddenly summoned her home, and the woman returned and renewed the request to have her burden removed, which has increased nearly one third since she first presented herself. On 24th Dec 1849, in the presence of Dr. Bowring, and several other gentlemen, assisted by Dr. Marjoribanks, and my senior pupil the left breast, measuring two feet, two and a half inches in circumference and weighing 4 1/2 catties (6 lbs.), was removed in three and a half minutes. When she came to the operating table she was under high nervous excitement, which was rather increased by the first application of chloroform, and being a Romanist, invoked the name of the Virgin Mary as well as of the Savior. And very soon after the second exhibition she became quite insensible, and the following day stated that she was only conscious, when the sutures were applied after the breast was removed. In one month after the right breast, measuring two feet and weighing 5 1/2 lbs., was removed in three minutes. She came almost instantly under the influence of chloroform, which was administered at her own request, at first she seemed in a state of pleasurable excitement, chanting or singing, till she became silent and motionless. At one time she seemed to choke with spasms, and resembled a person in apoplexy; she revives as one awakes from sleep, with a natural expression upon her countenance. She complained rather more of the wound, than is usual when chloroform is administered. In one month she was discharged perfectly well.”, and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information. Review and updating of records is ongoing.

Steatomatous tumor, two feet and more in circumference. Kwan Shí, aged 25, of the district of Pwanyü, had a tumor which originated above the clavicle near the left shoulder. When she presented herself at the Hospital, this large tumor which hung pendulous over the breast and reached to the umbilicus, presented a broad and deeply ulcerated surface, and was exceedingly offensive. In consequence of her having become a loathsome companion, she had been cast off by her unfeeling husband, and compelled to seek refuge under her paternal roof; her mother accompanied her to the Hospital. With no great delay, chloroform was administered. She became almost instantaneously insensible, and in the presence of several gentlemen the tumor was successfully removed. During the operation she seemed as if in a quiet sleep, and remained so some minutes after the arteries were tied and the sutures applied, when on being spoken to, she awoke, and the natural expression to her countenance, she glances her eyes downwards, and with a smile remarked “I do not see the tumor!” the same afternoon she was able to walk the chamber. The recovery was speedy and perfect, and it is being reported that her husband has again welcomed her to his house., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.

Description:
Title supplied by curator., Date supplied by curator., Ninth Report of the Ophthalmic Hospital in Canton for the quarterly term ending in December 31st, 1838. 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.

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.
