9. 26. FibPO-Fatty Tumour. — Section of a tumour of the above 

 nature — in spirit. 



Long immersion in weak spirit has altered the appearance 

 of this tumour, but it still may be seen to contain a larger 

 proportion of fibrous tissue than is usual in an ordinary fatty 

 tumour. G. C. 443. 



9. 27. Large FibrO-Fatty Tumour. — Section of a very large 

 fibro-fatty tumour, with the skin attached — in spirit. 



The tumour was removed from a young man by Professor Syme. 

 Having apparently begun in the perinasum, it had extended into the 

 scrotum, and become attached to the testicle and cord on the left side. It 

 had the appearance and feeling of "cerebriform tissue." The whole 

 tumour was removed along with the testicle, and the patient recovered. 



The section of the tumour shows it to be composed of 

 numerous septa of fibrous tissue running through a mass of fat, 

 and intersecting it as by an irregular mesh work. G. C. 1746. 

 Presented by Professor Syme, 1825. 



9, 28. Fibro-Fatty Tumour. — Section of a fibro-fatty tumour 

 showing several cysts — in spirit. F. P. C. 2743. 



Fihrous Tumours. 



9. 29. Soft Fibrous Tumour. — Section of a pendulous sub- 

 cutaneous tumour, with the adjacent skin — in spirit. 



The tumour is composed of a somewhat loose arrangement 

 of fibrous tissue. It was described formerly as "sarcoma 

 simplex." G. C. 189. 



9, 30. Soft Fibrous Tumour. — Small subcutaneous tumour, with 

 the overlying skin — in spirit. 



The tumour was circumscribed, and formerly described as 

 "apparently simple sarcoma." B. C. X. 1. M, 11.
