description: Watercolour medical illustration depicting tumour of the eyelid. It has the alternative reference number 1540, P15B and 422 on the front. The Richmond Hospital Museum reference is D.b.1.

description: Scope and content: The full typescript note on the back reads '2. Malignant Tumour of the Eyelid – Mr Adams exhibited a specimen of malignant tumour of the lower eyelid. The disease commenced in the form of a wart, which gradually assumed the characters of scirrhus, and ultimately became infiltrated with melanotic matter. At the time of the patient's admission into the Richmond Hospital, it was of eighteen months' duration, and presented in a very remarkable manner all the characters of scirrhus combined with melanosis. It had a narrow base, bled copiously, and exhaled a foetid odour. The man had lost flesh, but had not a decidedly unhealthy appearance. He stated, that he had been looking ill. And losing flesh for six months, which he attributed to constantly recurring haemorrhage from the tumour. There was also considerable enlargement of the lymphatic glands on the same side of the face and neck, an occurrence which seemed to indicate the malignant nature of the disease. These facts, Mr Adams observed, would seem to contra-indicate any operation; but as the tumour had a small base, and as the man was suffering from repeated haemorrhage, it was determined to remove it. An additional reason might be derived from the recollection of a case (the preparation of which was preserved by Mr Smith), in which the disease commenced in a similar way in the lower eyelid, and went on until it destroyed the whole globe of the eye. The tumour was, therefore, removed. Mr Adams said, he had brought the tumour, and would send it round for inspection, as it presented a very good specimen of the combination of scirrhous portion was very evident, and contrasted well with the melanotic matter which was deposited in the shape of small black granules. Mr Adams said, he believed the disease was malignant, and would most probably return'.
