A Boy With Elephant Ears.

b0ltt'aofe American.
A colored boy from Virginia, fifteen
years OF age, presented himself yesterday
at the Maryland University hospital to
have an operation performed for a curious
formation on his ears. The growth is
known as keloid, a kind Of connective It's.
sue tumor, covers the ears almost entirely,
giving him the appearance OF having ele.
phant's ears. The one on the right ear
measured eight inches acroe5 and twenty
five inches in circumference. The one on
the left ear was about six inches across.
The weight Of both tumors when removed
ives three pounds six ounces. One has been
growing since the boy WIS four years old,
and has been cut of three times; the other
has been forming six months. They we're
hard, fibrous masses. The formations are
said to occur more frequently on the ear
than elsewhere on the body and to be
more common among colored persons than
among the whites. They are not malig.
nant and not cancerous. The cause Of eucn
growth is not definitely known. The sur.
geon wes able to save q good portion OF
each ear. They were successfully removed
BY cautery, and the patient is doing we'll.
He came on in the summer for treatment,
but it was deemed best to put of the on.
Grafton till winter. His physician is with
him and his health Is good. There are two
similar formations on his breast, but it is
thought that those wilt pass away as he
grows older. The boy has suffered no pain
