Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine

CHAPTER II
18/181

On the 15th of October a portion of a fetus of five months' growth in an advanced stage of decomposition protruded from the vulva.

After the escape of this putrid mass her health returned, and in four months she was again robust and healthy.

Whinery speaks of a young woman who at the time of her second child-birth observed a tumor in the abdomen on her right side and felt motion in it.

In about a month she was with severe pain which continued a week and then ceased.

Health soon improved, and the woman afterward gave birth to a third child; subsequently she noticed that the tumor had enlarged since the first birth, and she had a recurrence of pain and a slight hemorrhage every three weeks, and distinctly felt motion in the tumor.
