Anomalies 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.
