 20G3. A c}-st from under the tongue.

The patient, set. nineteen 3 r ears, entered the hospital (81, 111) with a prominent, fluctuating, deep-seated, pain- less tumor, filling the space between the symphysis, and the angle of the jaw upon the left side, and protruding into the mouth ; and it was as large, she thought, when first noticed eight months before. Integument not affected. Discharged about ij. of a yellowish, cheesy material. The cyst, inverted and stuffed, shows the epidermal char acter. 1859. Dr. H. J. Bigelow.

The patient was a boy, twelve years old, and his parents thought that, the disease was congenital. It was increas- ing in size, but there was no pain nor other trouble from it, unless he wore a tight boot. On admission into the hos- pital, under the care of Dr. H.

No pain on pressure. It was situated between the fascia and the muscles ; and was easily removed ; with a copious discharge of white, cheesy material, consisting of epithelial scales, fat, and cholesterine.

The patient was a middle-aged woman, and had had a tumor for ten or twelve years near the anterior extremity of the second or third metacarpal bone, but with scarcely any trouble from it until the last two or three months, when inflammation appeared upon the corresponding part of the back of the hand. The cyst, which had a fluctuat- ing feel, having been opened by Dr. B., discharged about ss. of pus and pultaceous matter ; and it was then dis- sected out ; not connected with the tendon. The parietes are quite thick, firm, laminated, and capable of holding
