General surgical pathology and therapeutics, in fifty-one lectures .. . &<mP- Cirsoid aneurism of the scalp in an old woman : a small tumor was said to have existed atbirth, and to have developed gradually to this size. After Breschet. rare. The diagnosis of cirsoid aneurism is very simple, if, as is usu-ally the case, it lies just under the skin; it has been found moredeeply seated, as in the gluteal artery, but it is more frequent on thehead; here we may feel, and occasionally see, the tortuous pulsatingartery, so that the disease is readily recognized; it is not frequent. We have still to mention that the arterial wall may become dis-eased by a suppuration or ulceration extending from the neighboringparts, first to the adventitia, then to the other coats; this is the casemore rarely in acute abscesses than in chronic ulcerations. As anexample of this we see that, in the development of cavities in thelungs, it not unfrequently happens that the ulceration attacks the wallsof the smaller arteries, and the adventitia is partly destroyed andsoftened.
