He had delivered a woman by means of the forceps, and, after delivery, brought away what he thought a tumor.

This "tumor" consisted of the uterus, with the placenta attached to the fundus, the funis, a portion of the lateral ligament, containing one ovary and about three inches of vagina.

The uterus was not inverted.

A horrible case, with similar results, happened in France, and was reported by Tardieu.

A brutal peasant, whose wife was pregnant, dragged out a fetus of seven months, together with the uterus and the whole intestinal canal, from within 50 cm.
