Orchitis, if that is what it is,  is a bacterial infection of the male testes and in children is usually associated with mumps, in adults apparantly it can be  caused by infected blood, I can't make out the Enlargement of ??????? gland

Yes may be. Lets see what someone else may say. I just cannot work that gland out myself.
Thanks

I don't think it's Orchitis - looks more like "Cayshitis" ???  which makes no sense.
I can't work out the gland either.  Seems to say "Ondate" or "Undate" but they don't exist according to the lists I just found... maybe it's an old name for one of the glands?

Sorry I haven't been much help!

Cheers
Prue

I don't think it is orchitis either - going to sleep on it and think - former medical knowledge might come to me in my dreams - never know your luck!
   not as silly as it sounds - I often solve things at night!!    ::)

Been looking up glands etc and I am wondering if Unduler Gland is an old name for Thyroid gland - don't quote me on this but  . . .   
Certainly when you Google Unduler gland, thyroid is one of many things mentioned.   Just thinking aloud really - and hoping for better ideas.  Trouble is, the spelling looks more like Undute doesn't it . . . ??

Hmmm - I may well be shot down in a ball of flames . . .

Thanks everyone so far. I was a bit ashamened to admit to my past nursing knowledge.  I have not had the same success on Google with entering Undular Gland I get taken to sites about birds.
But 10 month history of enlarged thyroid leaning to death I would think could be a cancer of the thyroid.
Anyway can we keep trying at this please.

It reads enlargement under Gland.

I have seen this before, another word for Not really sure how they died.

Maybe this was the only thing that stood out when this person died.
