Not illustrated. 1883 Excerpt: ...a case of sarcoma of the cervix, and we have seen two cases since 1879 in Professor Simpson's ward--one in the body of the uterus and the other in the cervix. Age has the same predisposing influence as in fibroma and carcinoma. Of 62 cases collected by Gusserow--2 were under 20, 3 14 26 14 2 1 was above 70. The number of sterile patients among those affected with sarcoma (25 out of 63) is noteworthy; in this respect it contrasts with carcinoma (Gusserow). SYMPTOMS. The following symptoms characterize the early stage, in which the patient seeks advice: 1. Hemorrhage. 2. Absence of pain. 3. Watery non-offensive discharge. 4. Cachexia. Hemorrhage appears first as increase of the menstrual flow, or as irregular hemorrhages after the menopause. As the new formation does not ulcerate rapidly like carcinoma, the increased menstruation is due to hyperaemia of the mucous membrane (Clay). The absence of pain in the early stage is remarked on by Clay and A R. Simpson; in this respect it differs from intra-uterine cancer. According to Gusserow, on the other hand, pain is frequently present and that of an intense and rending character. This apparent discrepancy of opinion may be explained by the varying progress of the infiltration. In the spreading of carcinoma, we noted that pain was most severe when the disease was extending upwards and compressing the nerve-endings in the uterus and connective tissue; when it grew down into the vaginal cavity, it was painless. The free rice-watery discharge has a slight odour but is not nearly so offensive as in carcinoma; this is due to the fact that there is not the same rapid ulceration and necrosis of tissue. When the disease has progressed further, the discharge becomes equally fetid. The presence in the discharge of grayish-wh...
