CHAPTER XI
TUMOURS OF THE SKULL-BONES

In this the last chapter of this work, I originally intended to deal with tumours of the scalp and skull-bones. With respect to tumours of the scalp there is, however, but little to say. The various conditions are well recognized, their pathology is known, and there is in general but little to relate. Tumours of the skull-bones come under a different category and require some consideration.

Tumours of the skull-bones.

The more important of these tumours are as follows:—

Osteomata.

Sarcomata, primary and traumatic.
