Tumour on a Nerve
نویسنده
چکیده
fighting fell from a house roof on him, and that by evening his body was covered with eruptions, which, however, soon disappeared. The tumour was easily removed, but I found the capsule to be the ulnar nerve expanded, and I turned out the tumour from the capsule leaving the latter. The tumour was solid but friable : an energetic servant disposed of it before it was put under the microscope unfortunately. The wound healed, but the man has loss of sensation in the little and half the ring finger. I hope sensation may return as the expanded fibres of the new capsule form a good communication. I have not here seen a similar tumour.
