the largest of which were from one-half to three-fourths
O
of an inch in diameter, were formed of concentric layers ; several sometimes adhering together ; and having a com- mon envelope ; much larger than those that adhered to the capsule, and not vascular as they were. 1859.
Dr. H. J. Bigelow.
1674. Bodies from the above cyst. 1859.
Dr. H. J. Bigelow.
DiflEerent appearances of the loose bodies from the above case :
1675. 1. Irregularity, and mutual cohesion by intermediate lymph.
1676. 2. More intimate cohesion, with a uniform smooth wall upon one side.
1677. 3. Similar adhesion, but covered on all sides by the plas- tic deposit which has become smooth by attrition, and leaving a lobulated surface.
1678. 4. Plates of lymph and fragments.
1679. 5. Bodies torn open, to show the laminated structure. 1859. Dr. H. J. Bigelow.
1680. Bodies similar to the above, and such as may have been removed from a synovial sheath about the wrist. 1847.
Dr. J. C. Warren.
1681. The same, and remarkable for their minute size. Re- moved from over the front of the forefinger ; the cyst extending into the hand.
From a woman, about forty years of age. Pretty severe inflammation followed, but after some months she had a fair use of her hand. 1862. Dr. S. D. Townsend.
1682. Four loose bodies, from the elbow-joint ; three or four lines in diameter, and as hard as bone, though thinly coated with cartilage ; in spirit. They were quite free in the joint ; and the articular extremity of the humerus, which is in the same jar, is seen to be grooved upon the surface, as in a case that is figured by Cruveilhier. From a mid- dle-aged woman.
