The Intersection of DIY and Medicine

 

The box this slide came in was marked "Aix-les-Bains" and "Dr Herbert, Sept 1967, and seemed to show a surgery to be fillmed for TV. Very curious. Looked like a hip surgery, which would explain the need for Big Boy Toys.

Most interestingly, some digging reveals that there was a Dr JJ Herbert, who seemed to be a bit of a wizz on hip surgery.  I like it when the evidence joins up.  There's even a Boulevard du Dr Jean Jules Herbert in Aix-les-Bains, France.

Polypoid lipoma sigmoid

Polypoid lipoma sigmoid

"Lipoma of colon is a rare entity. So far to best of our knowledge, only 254 cases have been reported in the literature.[1] It may be asymptomatic to mildly symptomatic depending upon the size of the lesion (larger than 20 mm).[2] Though the diagnosis can be made easily at surgery or autopsy, but before that it may lead to many differential diagnostic problems, such as polypoidal carcinoma. We report a case of submucous lipoma sigmoid colon in a woman who underwent left hemicolectomy with clinical suspicion of malignancy"
