McBride and the midfacial granuloma syndrome

MCBRIDE has played an influential role in my work and his name has been familiar to me ever since I became interested in an enigmatic granulomatoiis disease of the upper respiratory tract, called by Sir Robert Woods in 1921 'the malignant granuloma of the nose', and by another Scotsman, J. P. Stewart in 1933, 'Progressive lethal granulomatous ulceration of the nose'. McBride's report in the Proceedings of the Laryngological Society (McBride, 1897) represents the first and oldest reference to this rare disease and it was entitled 'Photographs of a case of rapid destruction of the nose and face' (Fig. 1). Semon, then President of the Laryngological Society, was in the chair; and the second time I was stimulated and inspired by McBride was when preparing my own Semon lecture on the 'Changing pattern of granulomas' (Friedman, 1971). The first Semon lecture (devoted entirely to Semon's life and work) was, in fact, given in 1913 by Dr. Peter McBride.
