Chinese Repository, Vol. 7. 1838-1839, p. 584: No. 6071. Dec 14th. Tumor pendulous from the upper lip. Kwo Pe, aged 27, from Shuntih. Seven years since, this amiable young woman found a tumor commencing on the right side of the upper lip. It had now attained the size of her fist, and hung pendulous, reaching below the chin, and carrying the underlip to the left side; it not only greatly disfigured her, but impeded her speech, and required to be supported when she ate., Dec 19th the tumor was removed by the hare lip operation, two arteries of considerable size were divided (...) The third day from the operation, the first time of dressing, the needle was removed. The wound had nearly healed by first intention, and on the 5th, only a piece of sticking plaster was removed. In a few days more she was discharged perfectly well, and her natural features nearly restored. She showed her gratitude and respect by not kow-towing [italics by Peter Parker; “which is borrowed from kòu tóu in Mandarin Chinese, is the act of deep respect shown by kneeling and bowing so low as to have one's head touching”], knowing that it was offensive., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.

- Description:
- Title supplied by curator., Date based on report of patient's surgery., Peter Parker First Quarterly Report of the Hospital, Chinese Repository 1836-1837, vol. 5, p. 457: Sarcomatous tumor. Lo Washun, aged 41. This interesting woman of the first society of her native village, had been twenty years afflicted with a tumor upon the left side of the face. It was situated below the ear, extending forward below the cheek, and down upon the side of the neck, so as nearly to touch the clavicle. As usual, the traces of the cautery and escharotics of the native practitioners were seen upon it; and the patient stated that it had been lanced, and the hemorrhage in consequence was arrested with difficulty. After having attended to the general health, on the 15th December the tumor was successfully removed. The patient endured the operation with fortitude characteristic of the Chinese. The loss of blood was considerable, she vomited but did not faint. She feared lest a large eschar might disfigure her face. By making the incision rather perpendicularly, from the ear towards the trachea, sufficient facial integument was preserved to bring the wound behind and below the angle of the jaw. The wound healed by the first intention and in ten days the dressing was wholly removed. The face had nearly its natural appearance. Grateful and happy, she returned to her husband and family., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.

- Description:
- Title supplied by curator., Date supplied by curator., Ninth Report from October 1st to December 31st 1838, Chinese Repository, vol. 7, 1838-1839, p. 59 : Leang Yen, a female aged 34, from the neighborhood of Fa Te, the “flower gardens”. In October 1838, the disease commenced, at the head of the radius, and it had gradually increased until it now measured one foot seven inches around the wrist, and about the same at its base, it had never been remarkably painful, neither had the discharge of blood been great. The patient’s countenance was very sallow, and face and extremities generally edematous, particularly on the right side. (...) The patient has a morbid appetite, eating as much as in health. Pulse feeble and frequent; occasionally a few grains of blue pill and colocynth were administered, and opiates at night, with a view of improving her general health. Several medical gentlemen saw the patient, and among them Dr. Guilbert of the French frigate L’Artemise. All were agreed that it was advisable to amputate the arm without delay. Though the patient did not understand what was spoken, she learned or surmised, from a gesture inadvertently made, that amputation was proposed, and with great determination subsequently remarked to another, that she would sooner die than submit to the operation. In a few days the state of the case was explained to her, that in the opinion of several medical men she could not live long unless the arm was removed, that the operation would not be extremely painful, and that it was her only chance for protracting life. She urged her helplessness without her right hand, but admitted it was better than one limb should be sacrificed, than the whole body. However, in a few days she resolved to go home. After about twenty days she returned, manifestly improved in her health form the medicine she had taken, though the fungus has increased. The operation was again proposed to her and her husband. Each consented, but as it was an extraordinary affair he wished first to consult her relations. He did so, and wrote back that they confided entirely in my judgment, but ill health prevented his return. The patient still consented; the 5th of Dec. was fixed upon for the operation, and on the previous evening everything was is readiness; but the next morning when visited, she, with a toss of her head, emphatically explained, “No cutting! No cutting!” and holding up two fingers she added, “give 200 dollars and you may.” (White: “Someone has suggested this to her.”), This patient is an exception to all that have ever yet visited the hospital. She quite misunderstood the kindness that had been shown her. Food, and a female servant to attend constantly upon her, had been provided; and -- when, hearing that her husband’s health would not permit him to return to see the operation, she expressed a fear that if he was absent, and she should not perfectly recover, he might decline supporting her -- she was assured that if he deserted her, she should be provided for. It seemed at this time that she thought me anxious to mutilate her, and that I would give her a price to do it. The tumor was surrounded by a plate of bone the thickness of the pericranium, which being sawed through exposed a mass of matter of the consistency of brain. There were a few apertures at which this medullary substance had protruded and expanded itself like a mushroom.”, Identified by Stephen Rachman., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.

Steatomatous tumor, nineteen and a half inches in circumference. Lí Shí, aged 43, of the district of Pwanyü, had a steatomatous tumor, which seventeen years since commenced just above the clavicle of the left side. When she presented herself at the Hospital, it had attained the abovementioned dimensions, and hung pendulous down into the axilla and over the breast, descending nearly to a level with the umbilicus. Its surface was traversed by large veins, and in several instances there had been copious hemorrhage from superficial ulcerations in the most pendent portion. On the 10th April half a drachm of chloroform was administered, and in less than two minutes she was perfectly insensible, when the tumor was extirpated in two minutes. It weighed 2 3/4 lbs. (...) Having eaten a hearty breakfast, the patient rejected it soon after the tumor was removed. She readily recovered from the effect of the chloroform, and uttered her “many thanks to Jesus and her (?) Father in Heaven”. Before the operation she expressed a determination to put her trust in Christ should she survive the operation. She was a woman of great natural loveliness of character, and seemed much interested in the Gospel during her abode in the Hospital. In three weeks she was perfectly well. Her kind and devoted husband stood at her head as she lay upon the table during the operation, and as he witnessed her deathlike appearance while insensible, he was the impersonation of grief, but this was momentary; as she revived, it was difficult to say which of them was the happiest., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.

June 7th, 1850. Glandular tumor, one foot in circumference. Kwo Shí, aged 41, of the district of Pwányü, had a glandular tumor under the left ear, a foot in circumference. The ulceration of the surface was so extensive as not to leave healthy integument sufficient to cover the base. Under the influence of chloroform, this tumor was dissected out, and the edges of the wound approximated as near as practicable, leaving a space of an inch in width in the center, gradually tapering to a point upwards and downwards, to heal by granulation, which was accomplished in about six weeks. A year after her discharge, she presented herself at the hospital in excellent health, when it was satisfactory to find that the cure had been effectual and permanent., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.
