Carcinomatous growth on the breast

Godart, Thomas

Watercolour drawing of the left breast of a patient who had a large carcinomatous growth springing from the gland at some distance from the nipple. The tumour was bilobed and of the size of a foetal head. It was attached to the ribs and the skin over it was involved, but the nipple was not retracted. The growth was of eight months' duration. It was considered to be too far advanced for operative interference.
