The specimen shows the posterior aspect of the heart covered by a shaggy 鈥渂read and butter鈥 fibrinopurulent exudate indicating acute pericarditis.

Comment

Details of the clinical history are not available. As with specimen No 9, this specimen鈥檚 metal support is mounted to show the posterior aspect of the heart. However, in this case, the pericardial exudate is more evident here than anteriorly, so the mounting seems appropriate. The descriptive card reference to 鈥淩.J.B.B. Dem. I., 1881鈥 cannot be traced.
