“…Comment.-We have been able to find only two published reports (Pettersson, 1941 ;Mimpriss and Birt, 1949) of death due to tumour embolism at operation, which is surprising in view of the frequency with which hypernephroma spreads into the renal vein and even into the inferior vena cava.…”

“…I n certain circumstances operative manipulation can release emboli of tumour cells into the circulation. Mimpriss and Birt (1949) and Masson and Rranwood (1955) described fatal pulmonary emboli of tumour fragments released from the renal veins during mobilization of hypernephromas, and various animal experiments seem to confirm that local trauma and manipulation of tumours play a part in dissemination. Knox (1922) found a significant increase in metastases when certain transplantable animal tumours were subjected to repeated massage, and Peyton (1940) found a similar increase when tumours were removed after local infiltration with 0.5 per cent procaine.…”
