249 B. Hydatids. — Let us premise tliat it is not clear that all the tumoiu's described under the title of hydatid tumours were really formed by hydatids. The dramngs of them, which have been preserved by their authors, give rise to grave doubts on the subject. Hydatids of the breast are, according to A. Cooper, non-can- cerous maladies, capable of attaining an enormous size, which, some- times solid, sometimes moveable and pendulous, contain serum of rather gummy character, with an interior of... a cellular aspect, occasionally filled, with genuine hydatids. . The author adds to this description, the account of a tumour nine poimds in weight. Dr. Warren^ cites a case of a tumour of this kind, which weighed twelve or thirteen pounds, and contained an infinity of small globular hydatids. According to Cooper, when these tumours have once been emptied, they only fill again slowly, and sometimes, indeed, do not fill again at all. In other cases, there results from their being opened, fistulous sinuses difficult to heal, so that, if they are of a certain size, extirpation afibrds the best, and perhaps the only remedy.
