Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an extensive analysis of statistical tables pertaining to morbid conditions and their underlying pathological causes. These tables were assembled over more than ten years, during which time 583 female cadavers underwent thorough anatomical and pathological examination. Nearly 7% of these women had developed uterine fibroids, while cancer was found in 38 cases.
