Nine months after this accident there was noticed an enlargement of the middle joint of the little finger, and about the same time an enlargement on the middle finger.

Gradually all the joints of the right hand became involved.

The enlargement increased so that at the age of twelve they were of the size of walnuts, and at this time the patient began to notice the same process developing in the left hand.

The growths continued to develop, new nodules appearing, until the fingers presented the appearance of nodulated potatoes.
One of the most frequent of the fibro-cartilaginous tumors is the "mixed cartilaginous" tumor of Paget, which grows in the interstitial tissues of the parotid gland, and sometimes attains enormous size.
Matas presented the photograph of a negress having an enormous fibroma growing from the left parotid region; and there is a photograph of a similar case in the Mutter Museum of the College of Physicians, Philadelphia.
The hyaline enchondroma is of slow growth, but may at times assume immense proportions, as is shown in the accompanying illustration, given by Warren, of a patient in whom the growth was in the scapula.
In 1824 there is quoted the description of a peculiar growth which, though not definitely described, may be spoken of here.

It was an enormous encysted tumor, springing from the clavicle of a Veronese nobleman.
