The skin over the entire thoracic region was pervaded bysecondary nodules; the opposite mamma and axillary glands were invaded ; thepectoral muscles of the corresponding side were, for the most part, convertedinto densely hard carcinomatous material, and the axillary and supraclavicularglands were indui-ated and much enlarged.
