title: Edward Cock: Cock's 'peculiar tumour'.
abstract: I must first apologise to my readers for including in this series a condition which I have never personally seen in 40 years of general surgery, nor, I believe, have any of the readers of this article. My excuse is that the condition has such a charming name and that the surgeon, Edward Cock, was such an interesting character.
