Malapert and Morichau-Beauchaut (Rev. de Chirurgie, Paris, XXIX, 200) observed a little girl 12 years of age who had had an enlargement of the right breast since she was six months old-During the past five or six years it had grown steadily, without pain or tension until it formed a consider-able sized tumor smooth, globularly rounded, at the center of which the nipple was situated. The nipplewas not retracted, the skin of the breast was not discolored, there were no dilated veins on the was no increase of size when the child cried or exercised, nor could the tumor be reduced in size by.

As the entire breast was diseased itwas amputated together with some of the overlying skin. There was abundant hemorrhage, and thetumor was found to be unencapsulated and to send out prolongation in all directions so that it had to bedissected from the pectoralis major muscle. Microscopic examination of the tissue showed a fibro-adipose stroma filled with cavities containingbloody serum. Part of the tissue was like hemorrhagic infarction.
