    A Table ■ t- I-.. > r • rx. t of over Fifty Co Cancer of the Fallb e Ca^es . of Primary By Alban Doran, F.R.C.S., Surgeon to the Samaritan Free Hos'pital. In the second volume of this Journal (p. 381) will be found a Critical Eeview on Primary Cancer of the Tube, which I prepared in the summer of 1902. Since then many fresh cases have been recorded. The study of this important condition is becoming difficult, as the published accounts of individual cases are widely scattered over British and foreign medical text-books and journals. For that reason I have drawn up the following tables for the convenience of those who are interested in the subject. They are extended from my own tables (1888, 1896, 1898), Sanger and Barth’s (1896), Danel’s (1899) and Le Count’s (1901). I have been careful to make the references as complete as possible. Incomplete cases are excluded. Several have been more or less briefly recorded by Smyly, Zweifel, Westermark (second case), Brennecke,* Kretz,t and Boldt {N.Y. Medical Record, 1897, \ol. lii., p. 66). A full report of Amann’s case was promised by that writer {Monats. fiir Geburts. und Gynakol., 1903, Vol. xviii., p. 789), but I am not aware that it has been published. Osterloh {Zentral. fiir Gynakol., 1895, p. 924) reported the removal of a tumour taken at the time for a right pyosalpinx; it adhered to the parietal peritoneum and simulated abscess in the abdominal walls. A year later {Ibid., 1896, p. 809) he detected recun-ence in the neighbourhood of the abdominal cicatrix. There was, in fact, malignant deposit. The specimen of supposed “pyosalpinx,” which had been presented, apparently unopened, was carefully examined, and proved to be a cancerous tube. Ihe patient was still living, over a year after the operation. ♦ (( ■ doppekeitigem Tubencarcinom.” Monaf^hr. f. IFW A7,V 1894, ^79 uer rjiieiGsr, two years before operation °then'old.
