“…Cases 3 and 4 in our series are typical examples of plasmocytoma of the nasopharynx and mouth respectively. This variety has been so fully and adequately discussed by Blacklbck and Macartney (1932) in a recent number of this Journal and in America by Claiborn and Ferris (1931) that further comment here is unnecessary.…”

TUMOURS consisting exclusively of plasma cells have been described with fair frequency as constituting one of the histological types of multiple myeloma. Thus Wallgren (1921) in a collected series of 125 cases found 35 which presented a typical plasma-cell structure, and during the last decade numerous other examples have been added to the literature. Solitary or localised plasma-cell tumours, on the other hand, are of much greater rarity and only a few instances have been recorded hitherto. They comprise both the solitary plasmocytomas of bone marrow, histologically identical with the multiple growths referred to but differing radically from them in extent and clinical behaviour, and the localised plasma-cell tumours which occur in the mouth and nasopharynx and more rarely in other mucous membranes. At Leeds we chanced to encounter four examples in little more than two years, and as they illustrate rather well certain of the peculiar features of these growths we venture to place them on record. Two were solitary plasma-cell myelomas of bone, arising in humerus and maxilla respectively, and two were of buccal origin, one of which occurred in the nasopharynx, the other in the floor of the mouth. All four were met with during the routine histological investigation of material removed a t operation.

“…This zone can be observed under high power oil immersion in many of the cells in this case, and in mlost other similar microscopic views of other publishcd specimens. Mlitotic form-s are comimon in neoplasms and the average size of the cell is claimed to be smaller if the origin is inflamnmatory [7].…”

MIr. FENTON said that he had a simiiilar experience at the Royal Westminster Ophthalmnic Hospital. The patient had come from West Africa complaining of irritation in the eye, and a worm I in. long could be see wriggling about just above the limbus under the conjunctiva. Cocaine was inserted, and then only the tail could be seen. The conjunctiva was quickly cut down upon, and after som-ie difficulty the worm was grasped by its tail and removed. The cocaine produced rapid movement. The pathological diagnosis was guinea worm.Mr. T. HARRISON BUTLER said that he also had had a case of loa-loa in the eye; the appearance had been exactly that niow described. The patient was a doctor from West Africa, and he also had said that if cocaine was used it would drive the worm away. He (the speaker) had grasped the conjunctiva with forceps, put a thread tlhrough, and tied a thread round the creature's middle. Then he had iiiserted cocaine and tried to dissect it out, but it had broken in the middle. It was about an inch long.The PRESIDENT (in reply) said that Colonel Elliott, in his boolk " Tropical Ophthalmology ", referred to the rarity of filaria in the human eye in comparison with its appearance in the eyes of animals, and said that it was of a different species in the latter. He understood that subconjunctival filaria. were usually loa-loa.
