Fatty Tumours. 551 



9. 23. Very lapg'e Fatty Tumour. — Section of the above with 



the over-lying skin — in spirit. 



It was attached to the axilla, in an old woman, a subject in the dis- 

 secting-rooms. 



The section shows the tumour to be composed of masses 

 of fat bound together by layers of connective tissue into a 

 uniform whole, which has no out-lying lobules. The centre of 

 the tumour, where there is now a hollow, was filled with 

 broken-down fat and oil, and many of the lobules near that part 

 are softer in texture and darker in colour than those at thft 

 periphery. This has been a degenerative change, associated 

 with the great growth of the tumour. G. C. 3287.

9. 24- Very larg-e Fatty Tumour. — Papier mache cast of the 

 previous specimen in situ, showing its relations to the arm and 

 trunk. The tumour has evidently been slung in its covering of 

 skin from the region of the axilla. Possibly, this fact may 

 explain its want of separate outlying lobules, Gr. C. 3288.

9. 25. Fibro-Fatty Tumour. — Lobulated fatty tumour, with fibro- 

 fatty outgrowth projecting under the skin, the latter divided 

 to show its structure — in spirit. 



It was removed from the region of the hip. 



The deeper part which has lain in the subcutaneous tissue 

 has external lobules like those of an ordinary fatty tumour. The 

 more superficial and larger part, which has pushed outwards 

 and stretched the skin over it, is all in one piece. An examina- 

 tion of its surface of section shows it to be composed of layers 

 of fat and fibrous tissue arranged in an irregularly concentric 

 manner round a fibrous core, which unites it to the part below.
