Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Transactions of the Clinical Society of the University of Michigan, Vol. 4: October, 1912-October, 1913
Double club-foot in the same individual infant is not uncommon. The same unseen, or better, the same unrecognized embryologic deform ity (if it is this) in the skin, epithelium, muscles or bone must develop de novo from a stimulus, or its reverse, until we have again another recognizable mass that only a wide stretch of the imagination, it would seem to me, can attribute to a former growth that was removed over ten years before. In other words, to put it more simply, the appear ance of a second malignant process ten years or over following the removal of a primary carcinoma, must be due to a new point of origin without reference to the previous growth. But while the embryologist, the pathologist, the bacteriologist and the physiologic chemist are so patiently and so wonderfully mining out the problems this condition offers, the woman afflicted, together with her physician, are confronted with a situation that is as distress ing, and too frequently is as hopeless of solution, as any question to be solved by members of the human family.
