Abstract
Although text-books in general mention the fact that involvement of the ovary is an occasional complication of epidemic parotitis, actual cases are apparently so infrequent as to have escaped the observation of many practitioners. Osler, for example, Flint, Kelly and many other authors of like wide experience state that although it may occur, it is extremely rare, an opinion also voiced by Hutinel,1who in his discussion of mumps and its complications cites but two actual cases. Jules Comby, in his classical account of thiś infection,2has been able to collect records of but five instances in which this complication has been definitely reported (Rizet, two patients, one aged 29, the other 32; Meynert, patient aged 16; Boutillier, patient aged 6, and Vogt, patient aged 11). Among other instances which I have been able to find in the relatively recent literature is that reported in 1853 by Meisnhardt,Keywords
