The cyclopædia of anatomy and physiology cyclopdiaofana0402todd Year: 1849 10 J4 cumference, and almost to reach the ground when the patient is in the upright position. In a case operated on by Clot Bey in Egypt, the morbid mass, which weighed one hundred and ten pounds, kept the patient's legs far apart, and obliged him to remain constantly on the ground ; it was so bulky that he could even sit upon it. In the accompanying figure Fig. 656. TESTICLE (ABNORMAL ANATOMY). of a black man, affected with elephantiasis, taken from Dr. Titley's work on ' Diseases of the Genitals, in the Male,' the tumour de- scended nearly to the ankles. Elephantiasis of the scrotum is a morbid affection of the integuments, analogous to the enlargement of the extremities commonly known by the name of Barbadues leg ; with which, indeed, in those countries where the disease is prevalent, it is liable to be com- bined. Elephantiasis of the scrotum, how- ever, grows to a greater size and makes more rapid progress than the same disease in the leg, owing to the very loose texture and de- pending state of the parts. The labia pudendi of females in warm climates are subject to a similar change, though not to the same extent nor so frequently as the scrotum. This dis- ease appears to be the result of a low form of inflammation of the veins, and to be analogous to the affection termed plilcgmasia dolens. It is preceded by febrile attacks, attended with pain and heat in the part, and swelling and tenderness of the glands in the groin. After a time, the scrotum continues to enlarge, in- dependently of febrile attacks. In December, 1847, I saw a gentleman, from Barbadoes, who had this disease in the early stage. The whole scrotum was considerably enlarged, but The forming a doughy inelastic swelling, fissured in two or three places. A portion of skin at the root of the penis was a little red and puffy as if affected in a slight degree.
