ABSTRACT
This case report is about the sickness of a 59 year old priest, politician and war veteran who died in 1844. The case history is based on the detailed report of his doctor, gathered in a diary and later published. The collected clinical data relied exclusively on touch and observation. The patient's illness started with a painful lump on his forehead that was in part excised. Surgical exploration revealed a soft tissue mass that bled easily and involved the frontal bone. In the following months, the lesion, which had been treated with complex topical medications, became ulcerated and extended to the orbit and the chin. The patient died postrated and in severe undernutrition one year after the onset of the symptoms. The case discussion, presented in the format of a clinicopathological conference, concluded that a metastasis of a renal cell carcinoma or an osseous lymphoma were the more likely diagnoses.
