The cyclopædia of anatomy and physiology cyclopdiaofana0402todd Year: 1849 TESTICLE (ABNORMAL ANATOMY). 1015 creases widely, invading the whole scrotum to the perineum, and laying bare the crtira penis. At the same time it penetrates deeply to the tunica vaginalis, which becomes firmly connected to the morbid scrotum and ad- herent to the testicle. This organ may also become involved in the disease, and be the seat of a deep excavated sore. The glands in the groin often enlarge at an early period from irritation ; but at length they become indurated and diseased. The inguinal glands sometimes suppurate, and form intractable ulcers in the groin similar in character to the sore on the scrotum. The ulcer spreads to- wards its circumference widely and super- ficially, whilst in the centre it burrows deeply until in many instances it reaches the great vessels of the thigh, destroys their coats, and causes death by haemorrhage. In other cases the glands remain unaffected, but nlceration advances slowly in the direction of the cord, and a frightful sore is produced. The small excrescence in which cancer scroti usually originates is soft, vascular, and sensitive; and in many respects similar to the soft warts which occur on the internal membrane of the prepuce and on the glans penis. The soot-wart appears, in fact, to con- sist of a congeries of morbidly enlarged papillae. The Museum of the London Hospital contains a remarkable specimen of chimney-sweeper's cancer, in which nearly the whole scrotum is occupied by a cauliflower excrescence, which exhibits these papillae in a very ad- vanced state of developement. It was removed from an old man, about sixty-four years of age, who afterwards left the hospital cured. The morbid growth is composed of a number of projecting processes densely grouped to- gether, of variable size, but many very large, with their summits lobulated, expanded, and elevated on narrow ped
