The Spread of Melanoma to the Adrenal Glands: Historical Cases
Journal Title: Clinical Medical Reviews and Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Personal interest in cancer metastasis to the adrenal glands began in 1957 and matured in a Doctorate Thesis in 1961. Part of its eminence lay in cases in which it was the only soil selected for attack. What of the melanoma? The available historical account did not contain this answer. Therefore, this paper aims to determine the situation in the classical Transactions of the Pathological Society of London, which began to publish during the 1846 - 1848 period.
