A case of a uterine tumor

The author reports a case of uterine fibroid that he operated on in May 1891, recognized as such already 6 years before the operation (in 1885 he was not operated on due to the refusal of the patient). The operation itself, carried out in compliance with all the rules of asepsis, went completely smoothly: there were no adhesions, the blood loss was equal to one ounce. Postoperative course without complications: recovery on the 21st day. The tumor occupied the fundus of the uterus and closely covered the right ovary; on the right side of it there were several small, softer cyst-like protrusions ("bunches or protrusions").
