I have excluded the following cases because they have either not seemed to be positively cancerous appendices or else not un¬ doubtedly primary in the appendix: De Ruyter. Archiv. f. klin. Chir., Band lxix, p. 281. Edington. Glasgow Med. Jour., 1, 120. Meyerstein. Carcinoma Append. Vermiformis, Inaug. Diss., Munchen, 1905. Martin. Trans. South. Med. and Surg. Assoc., xvii. Westerman. Beitrage zur klin. Chir., 1907, liv, 258. Sudsuki. Three cases of “lymphangitis plastica,” Mitt, aus den Grenzg. der Med. und Chir. 1901, vii, 516. The results of the study of these 48 cases are given in the follow¬ ing pages. In many instances they will be found combined with the statistics of Rolleston, in order that certain facts may be more authoritatively established. In no region of the body are we able to obtain cancers in such an early stage of their development as those occurring primarily in the vermiform appendix, and their careful study should in future elicit new and important informa¬ tion with regard to many points in the life history of malignant neoplasms. Consequently, every case should be accurately ob¬ served and reported. Now that attention has been drawn to its occurrence so frequently, it can no longer be considered a curiosity.
