From the meeting of the Council of Doctors of the Kazan Provincial Zemsky Hospital on March 15 and 29, 1894

The resident of the Gynecological Department of the hospital I. M. Lvov showed the following drugs:
1) A huge proliferating cyst of the left ovary with thick colloidal contents, removed by him at 47 years old, a very emaciated patient, with the help of a womb. The interest of the case consisted in the following: the patient was extremely emaciated; the cyst grew during the year. During the operation, it turned out that the cyst had ruptures, and its contents — a jelly-like yellowish colloidal mass — poured into the peritoneal cavity. The peritoneum itself, both parietal and visceral, presented a complete picture of colloidal degeneration — it was strewn with small bubbles with thick colloidal contents. There was no dropsy in the abdomen. Postoperative period without complications, the patient recovered.
