Other surgeons have succeeded in finding the nerve-filaments with which these tumors are connected. In one case thewriter could trace the nerve from the capsule of the tumor on bothsides. The nerve was no larger than a fine silk ligature. There canbe no doubt that these tumors are connected with sensitive nerve-fila-ments. Their removal by excision is often followed by removals of recurrent painful tubercles are reported by SirJames Paget and by Mr. Lawson Tait.
