[Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine by George M. Gould]@TWC D-Link bookAnomalies and Curiosities of Medicine CHAPTER II 166/181
Gervis reports the removal of a large polypus of the uterus on the fifth day after confinement.
Davis describes the spontaneous expulsion of a large polypus two days after the delivery of a fine, healthy, male child. Deason mentions a case of anomalous tumor of the uterus during pregnancy which was expelled after the birth of the child; and Daly also speaks of a tumor expelled from the uterus after delivery.
Cathell speaks of a case of pregnancy complicated with both uterine fibroids and measles.
Other cases of a similar nature to the foregoing are too numerous to mention.
Figure 13, taken from Spiegelberg, shows a large fibroid blocking the pelvis of a pregnant woman. There are several peculiar accidents and anomalies not previously mentioned which deserve a place here, viz., those of the membranes surrounding the fetus.
