Sixteenth Report of the Ophthalmic Hospital for the Year 1850 and 1851, printed at the office of the Chinese Repository, p. 22: No. 37998, November 4th, 1850, Steatomatous tumor, three feet and a quarter in circumference, weighing thirteen and a quarter pounds. Kwán Kin, aged 46, a grocer of the district of Nánhai, had a steatomatous tumor of the above weight and dimensions hanging from his back. The base of the peduncular attachment was a foot in circumference, situated over the ribs of the right side, commencing near the edge of the scapula, and extending a little to the left of the spine and descended below the nates. The lower half was in a state of superficial ulceration, rendering the whole offensive from the constant discharge, as well as oppressive from magnitude. The operation being one of easy execution, was entrusted to Kwán Ato (Lam Qua’s nephew!), by whom it was performed with dexterity and success, in the presence of several gentlemen. In about two weeks the patient was discharged well, free from burden he had not been able to lay off day or night for twenty-two years.
