MORBID ANATOMY.
��a tendency to the formation of irregular, cartilaginous corpuscles ; but there were none seen that were well marked.
The patient recovered well from the operation ; and some years afterward there had been no return of the disease. (Amer. Jour, of Med. Sc., July, 1853, p. 84.) 1858.
Dr. H. J. Bigelow.
3021. Lithographs of the above case. 1st. A section of the tumor, colored, and of full size. 2d. Four small figures ; two of the hand, as shown in the cast ; one of the tumor as first noticed ; and one to show the flattening of the ten- don over the tumor. 1858. Dr. H. J. Bigelow.
3022. An enchondromatous tumor, connected with the first phalanx of the index finger, and about If in. in diam- eter.

Amputated ; and healed by the first inten- tion.
A section having been made through the phalanges and the tumor, this last is seen to be a pure enchondroma ; and the first phalanx, though considerably absorbed, is healthy in structure. 1867. Dr. H. G. Clark.
3023. Cast of a hand, showing a defined enchondromatous tumor upon the back of the first phalanx of the index finger, of a regular ovoid form, and about 1 in. in length.
The subject was a healthy young man, and the disease of ten years' duration. Removed with the bone-forceps, and returned in two or three years. 1868.
Dr. H. J. Bigelow.
