Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine

CHAPTER I
9/87

Rouxeau describes amenorrhea in a girl of seventeen, who menstruated from the breast; and Teufard reports a case in which there was reestablishment of menstruation by the mammae at the age of fifty-six.

Baker details in full the description of a case of vicarious menstruation from an ulcer on the right mamma of a woman of twenty.

At the time he was called to see her she was suffering with what was called "green-sickness." The girl had never menstruated regularly or freely.

The right mamma was quite well developed, flaccid, the nipple prominent, and the superficial veins larger and more tortuous than usual.

The patient stated that the right mamma had always been larger than the left.
