V. An account of a Very large Tumour in the fore fart 
of the Neck, 6cc, By Dr James Douglas. 
I Lately had the opportunity of opening a Woman, 
about 50 years old, who had a very large Tumour, 
or hard Swelling, in the fore part of her Neck, poffefEng 
all the fpace between the whole extent of the. lower Jaw 
and the upper part of the Sternum, with a confiderable 
riling in its middle 3 laterally its point inclining ro the 
Left fide, tho the biggeft pare of the Tumour was on the 
Right. The Skin on the Apex of this protuberating' part 
was thin and fhriveli’d, of a colour different from the 
reft, and lookt as if the Swelling would have broke in 
that place.
