Abstract

Married, 40 years old, mother of 8 children, of which the youngest is 5 years old. All labor is urgent and normal. Two years ago, she covered up a mobile tumor in the right half of the abdomen, which caused pulling pains and irregularities in the intestines. When examined on January 13, this tumor was recognized as a right mobile kidney; but on the left side of the retroverted uterus, another very sensitive tumor was palpated from a pigeon's egg, which was mistaken by the author for the left hyperemic displaced ovary.
