Injuries and diseases of the jaws . t with,of which an excellent example is preserved in St. GeorgesHospital Museum (II. 185). In this case the tumour,which was of the size of the fist, had been growing for five OSSEOUS TUMOURS. 315 yearSj and had been on one occasion partially removed. successfully removed the entire portion of jaw case will be found in the Appendix (No. XXIX.). Acase in which a circumscribed bony tumour, measuringfrom two-thirds to three-fourths of an inch in diameter, andcomposed of hard, finely cancellous bone, was lodged in theinterior of the angle of the jaw, is given by Sir J. Paget inthe Medico-Chirurgical Transactions, vol. liv. Ivory exostosis appears to affect by preference the angleof the jaw. Of this a good specimen is preserved in ^s Hospital (II. 191); and O. Weber figures a sectionof a large ivory exostosis in the same region removed byChelius. The best example of the kind, however, is in theCollege of Surgeons (1035), having been presented by Mr. Fig. J. F. South. The preparation (post-mortem) shows part ofthe right side of the lower jaw, with sections of a large bonytumour at its angle. The angle of the jaw rests in a deepgroove on the middle of the upper surface of the tumour,and in some situations their respective substances are con-tinuous. The tumour projects both below and on each sideof the jaw, is of irregular shape, measures nearly three 316 TUMOURS OF THE LOWER JAW. inches in its chief diameter, and is deeply nodulated. It iscomposed throughout of bone, uniform in texture, and ashard and heavy as ivory (fig. 148). In May, 1870,1 removed an ivory exostosis from a youngwoman aged thirty-two, a patient of Mr. Ceely, of Aylesbury,whose portrait is given in fig. 149. There had been a pain- FiG. 149.
