Primary fallopian canal glomus tumor has been reported only once previously, although the occurrence of glomus body tissue in the fallopian canal was documented many years ago. Facial paresis as a presenting symptom of glomus tumors is well known, as is facial nerve invasion by glomus tumors. However, a primary fallopian canal glomus tumor that extends extratemporally to the pes anserinus is unusual. Although facial nerve grafting may be necessary for removal of some glomus jugulare tumors, the need for facial nerve grafting appears to be uniform in the patients with primary fallopian canal glomus tumors. The primary fallopian canal glomus tumors that we report did not involve the jugular fossa or the Jacobson's branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve. Both tumors did extend to the middle ear and mastoid and followed the facial nerve extratemporally. The latter features appear to typify primary fallopian canal glomus tumors.

No abstract

regulars all have more or less recognition by the intelligent laity. They certainly differ very materially in the principles of inter¬ nal medicine, which is surely a very important matter, so that, for regulars to officially endorse homeopaths and homeopaths to endorse regulars, as will practically be the case with this proposed Board of Examiners, we will have an exhibition of acknowledged bankruptcy of medical principles, because to the physician, the focal point of all medical knowledge is ther¬ apeutics. It is proposed that opposites shall officially endorse and recommend opposites to public favor ! Now, my sugges¬ tion, made to the Chicago Medical Society, was that the avowed object of the proposed bill would be secured by the several schools simply co-operating along the lines common to all, and which would include everything in the usual medical curriculum, excepting internal therapeutics. This would pre¬ serve self-respect all around, while the diploma of a "recog¬ nized" medical college, which is to be a prerequisite for ad¬ mission to the State's examination, would be a reasonable guarantee of qualification in internal therapeutics. That other States have omitted this feature can not be an argument for the same fault in Illinois, unless it is good reasoning to say that because others have been weak and foolish we should be weak and foolish also. Men holding opposing principles can and should respect each other's honesty of opinions, and for the very same reason they can not afford to unnecessarily compromise their principles, especially their professional prin¬ ciples, for any purpose whatever. "High potencies" are either correct or they are monstrous mockeries.Respectfully,
