Tumors of the Mouth.They occasion no pain, and in most cases no annoyance, unless they happen to be so situated as to obstruct the movements of the tongue or of the jaws. Treatment.-If these tumors are not sufficiently large to cause the patient much annoyance, they may be permitted to remain, since they do no harm. If it become desirable to remove them, this may be done by snipping out a piece of the sac which contains them and permitting the contained fluid to escape. Sometimes the tumor is permanently cured by this simple means ; at other times it becomes necessary to repeat this operation a few weeks subsequently, since the tumor fills up again as before. In such a case, after permitting the contents of the tumor to escape the second time, the inside of the cavity should be lightly touched with a stick of lunar caustic. It is always better to refer the matter to a surgeon than to permit an inexperienced hand to meddle with it. If the tumor increase greatly in size, it may attain such dimen sions as to push the tongue to one side or to the roof of the mouth, and thus interfere seriously with speech, with swallowing, and even with breathing. In such cases, it is of course absolutely necessary that the tumor be removed. But first, if you want to come back to this web site again, just add it to your bookmarks or favorites now!
