The science and art of surgery : being a treatise on surgical injuries, diseases, and operations . 66S.—Primary Cancer in Axilla in a Man. Lymphadenoma of the Axillary Glands is chiefly met with inyoung women, forming a smooth, lobed, movable mass, usually aboutthe size of an orange, in tiiis situation. If left untouched, a process ofplastic deposit goes on in the tumor until at last it may attain a greatbulk. These tumors may readily be removed by enucleation. The Fibro-eellular Tumor will sometimes attain a great magnitudein the axilla, forming a large, smooth, rounded mass, stretching themuscles and displacing the vessels and nerves, as in Figs. 669 and this case the tumor, which was of very slow growth, developed be-tween the serratus and the ribs, stretching the muscle over it so as toform a species of capsule to it, drawing the scapula forwards, depressingthe chest-wall, and drawing the axillary vessels down to about three HERNIA. 591 inches below the clavicle. In removing it I was obliged to take awaya piece of the expanded serratus as large as the hand Tlie patient.
