29/151 The author called the disease sarcomata pigmentosum diffusum multiplex. It may affect any bone, but rarely involves an articulation; at times it skips the joint and goes to the neighboring bone. The tumor was located in the nasal septum, and caused a frightful deformity. In this case pain was absent, the sense of smell was lost, and the sight of the right eye impaired. Moore attempted to remove the tumor, but in consequence of some interference of respiration the patient died on the table. |
