Abstract
That tumors may be produced by the subcutaneous injection of camphor oil is an established fact. When we diagnosed our first case in 1914, we thought perhaps an individual idiosyncrasy to the camphor or an error in the drug had produced a sarcoid. We have now collected six cases as evidence of the danger of the indiscriminate use of this remedy as practiced in operating rooms for collapse and in the treatment of very severe illness, such as the pneumonia that occurred in the recent epidemic of influenza. The cases we offer are from the service of Engman and Mook at the Barnard Free Skin and Cancer Hospital and the Washington University Clinic, and from their private practice.
