Description

Watercolour drawing of the tongue of a woman, aged 24 years. On the left half was a warty tumour, with black and red papillae. It was removed with the galvano-cautery and proved to be a degenerated naevus. The patient believed that it had only existed a few weeks and said that it was rapidly increasing in size.
