Of the Phlegmon and its Dependancies.
What is a Phlegmon?
It is a red Tumour occasion'd by the Blood diffus'd in some part, wherein it causeth extension, pain, and heat with beating.
Are Aneurisms and Varices, which are Tumours, made by the Blood, to be reckon'd among the Phlegmons?
No, because the Blood that forms the Aneurisms and Varices is not extravasated nor accompany'd with Inflammation, but only a Tumour of Blood proceeding from the Dilatation of the Arteries and Veins.
May Echymoses or Contusions consisting of extravasated Blood, be esteem'd as Phlegmons?
