A woman, some time after receiving a blow on the leg, perceived a small
moveable tumor. It was soft, elastic, and seated on the outside of the
leg, about half way betwixt the knee and ankle joint. I made a small
incision through the skin down to the tumor, and dissected it off to
its base. I then dissected the substance off from the facia of the
muscle, and brought the skin together with adhesive plaster. It united
readily, and the patient was cured. The tumor was soft, like brain, of
a greyish colour, and greasy consistence.
