anastomosing stellate or spindle-shaped connective-tissue cells 

 (Fig. 120). 



But few tumors are entirely myxomatous, being combined 

 with other forms of connective tissue, constituting fibromyxoma, 

 lipomyxoma, chondromyxoma, myxosareoma, etc.

Lipoma of the kidney (Birch-Hirschfeld). The boundary between the adipose 

 tissue of the tumor and the renal tissue is not sharply defined. The former 

 occupies the middle of the section and extends to its lower edge. 



They are found in submucous and subcutaneous tissue, in 

 the mammary and parotid glands, and marrow of bone. 



A chondroma is a tumor composed of hyaline, elastic, or 

 fibro-cartilage or more frequently of a combination of these 

 varieties of normal cartilage, differing therefrom in that the 

 cells are much less regularly arranged. Hyaline cartilage is 

 the form most frequently found (Fig. 121). If they occur 

 in situations in which cartilage normally exists, they are called 

 ecchondromata, or cartilaginous outgrowths. When they occur
