Stockard describes an instance of this nature in a negress of fifty, the mother of several children.

About twelve years before a cyst in the right iliac region was tapped.

The woman presented the following appearance: The navel hung below her knees, and the skin near the umbilicus resembled that of an elephant.

The abdomen in its largest circumference measured 68 inches, and 27 inches from the ensiform cartilage to the umbilicus.

The umbilicus was five inches in diameter and three inches in length.
