fungating tumour on one cusp of the mitral valve.
History
This woman presented at the age of 18 years with a four-month history of
thrombophlebitis migrans. At autopsy the tumour was demonstrated to be a hepatoblastoma with
secondary deposits on the mitral valve; microscopy of other organs showed widespread lymphatic
permeation.
