Kwán Kin, aged 46, a grocer of the district of Nánhai, had a steatomatous tumor of the above weight and dimensions hanging from his back. The base of the peduncular attachment was a foot in circumference, situated over the ribs of the right side, commencing near the edge of the scapula, and extending a little to the left of the spine and descended below the nates. The lower half was in a state of superficial ulceration, rendering the whole offensive from the constant discharge, as well as oppressive from magnitude. The operation being one of easy execution, was entrusted to Kwán Ato (Lam Qua’s nephew!), by whom it was performed with dexterity and success, in the presence of several gentlemen. In about two weeks the patient was discharged well, free from burden he had not been able to lay off day or night for twenty-two years., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.

Title supplied by curator., Date supplied by curator., Sixth Report of the Ophthalmic Hospital in Canton ending on the 4th of May 1837 In: Chinese Repository, vol. 6, May 1837 -- April 1838, p. 38: No 3000, Lew Akin, aged 12 years, of Tsunchun, a village of Shuntih district, and the only child of her affectionate parents, had a steatomatous tumor upon her right hip, of a magnitude that required the patient to lean forward when she walked, in order to preserve her balance. Her health appeared good, except that she was much emaciated. In ten days she had made surprising improvement under a generous diet. On the 27th of April the usual indemnity given by the parent, the tumor was removed in two minutes and fourteen seconds. Its circumference (exceeding that of her body) was two feet at the base and much larger at the middle, it was very slightly attached, and consisted of concentric layers of fatty substance separated from each other by a surrounding cerous membrane, till near the center it was found of a much firmer structure, resembling cartilage. (...) In one week the whole was so far healed that the child was able to walk in the room without pain to herself or injury to the wound. She is now in good health, more fleshly than ever before. Since the first twenty four hours after the operation she has experienced but little pain. The feelings of the father were particularly noticed by the spectators at the time of the operation. He was in the room, but the unsightly wound that presented, as the integuments retracted ten or twelve inches apart, the incision being about ten inches long, was too much for the father to witness without tears. He left the room, but the cry of his little daughter, when the needle was passed through the integuments in applying sutures, soon recalled him, as soon to retreat. His vigilance in his attention to his only child, continually, day and night, have strongly exhibited the strength of natural affections, equaled only by his gratitude for the relief afforded his daughter. I am greatly indebted to Lamqua, who has taken an admirable likeness of this little girl, and a good representation of the tumor. The more interesting cases that have been presented at the hospital, he has painted with equal success, and uniformly says that as there is no charge for “cutting”, he can make none for painting., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.

Description:
Title supplied by curator., Date based on report of patient's surgery., Seventh Report of the Ophthalmic Hospital in Canton being that of the 31st of December, 1837, In: Chinese Repository, vol. 6, May 1837-April 1838, p. 438 June 19th. Sarcomatous tumor. Yang She, aged 20 of Hwanyuen, had a tumor pendulous from the chin and larynx. It commenced ten years since and the last years had been very cumbersome. The attachment beneath the chin was five inches in circumference. Centrally and horizontally it measured two feet three inches, and vertically three feet two inches. It extended below the umbilicus but not so as to rest in the lap; consequently its weight was sustained by the attachment, and the patient had to sit constantly in a bracing posture, to prevent its drawing down her head. The natural features were distorted, the cheeks being drawn tense by the weight of the tumor. The muscles on the back of the neck were preternaturally large, having been in constant action. A native practitioner had applied a ligature which remained sufficiently long to produce a permanent singular scar. Probably, while the ligature interrupted the flood of blood in the veins it did not compress the arteries, nor benumb the nerves: the pain must have been great and the result doubtful, had the destruction of the tumor been affected. Being in her fifth month the case was all the more critical. It was at this time determined to take a voyage to Japan; but whether she was apprized of this or not, or feared I might not return, she and her friends were urgent to have removed the tumor then, though the objection to it was distinctly stated. Perceiving the confidence of the patient and anxiety of her friends, with the appropriation of several medical gentlemen, I complied with her wishes and on the 21st June, the tumor was removed in 12 seconds, and the patient dressed and in bed in 20 minutes. With the exception of a single point the tumor, an inch in diameter, the tumor was as distinct from its surrounding parts, as an egg in its nest. Seldom has there been less apparent suffering from so serious an operation, as there was manifested by the young woman. The wound healed kindly without any unpleasant symptoms. Her first attempts to walk were awkward, having lost so much “ballast”. In one week the healing process had far advanced, when at my departure from Canton for Japan, Messrs. Cox and Anderson resident physicians most obligingly took charge of her and the preceding cases, and such others as were in the hospital, and required attention: they have also continued their assistance on each day for operations, weekly. In seventeen days she was discharged quite well. December 17th, she returned, bringing her robust little son, two months old. Her features were assumed very much their natural form.
