TWO CASES OF PRIMARY CARCINOMA OF THE APPENDIX

PRIMARY carcinoma of the appendix is necessarily an uncommon occurrence in any individual surgical practice, hence no justification is required for the publication of isolated cases. Such cases have been collected from time to time by various writers, but as yet have not been numerous enough to justify conclusions as regards sym. ptoms, prognosis, and other valuable clinical data. In both the following cases the patients were operated on in December, 1905, and both are at the present time in perfect healtb, and show no sign of recurrence.
