The diagnosis aneurysm of the subclavian 104 THE HONTGEN EAYS artery had been made and ligation advised. In the meanwhileseveral skiagraphs were taken that showed the presence of aorticaneurysm, the supraclavicular tumour being only a portion of it.Shortly after iodide of potassium was administered the supra-clavicular tumour disappeared entirely.
