MASSIVE BREAST LIPOMA OPERATED ON BY TWO EPONYMOUS GIANTS IN 1846

Authored by Wilson IB Onuigbo

The 19th century steadily witnessed the development of Surgical Pathology. Remarkably, a textbook came into use in Britain. It was praised by no other than Sir William Oster in USA. Among the book classifications was lipoma. Therefore, it was gainful to recall a massive case of this tumor that came to light in 1846 following a difficult operation jointly performed by two eponymous giants. Their experience deserves due documentation.

 JUNIPER PUBLISHERS- JOURNAL OF GYNECOLOGY AND WOMEN’S HEALTH                         Journal of Gynecology and Women’s Health-Juniper Publishers Authored by  Martijn A Oudijk* Introduction Preterm birth, defined as birth before 37 weeks gestation, is a major contributor to perinatal morbidity and mortality. It occurs in 12,000 pregnancies in the Netherlands per year. Of all perinatal mortality, 50-70% can be attributed to preterm birth.

We assumed that those who are severely affected are very likely to dismiss breast prevention. We searched for breast phobia and mastophobia on the internet and in the PubMed database but did not find any result. Still
