9.44. Sarcoma. — Portion of a small tumour which has apparently 

 fungated through the skin — in spirit. 



It seems on section to have a somewhat variable consist- 

 ence. G. C. 763. 



9. 45. Sarcoma. — F ungating tumour, laid open from behind, with 

 the adjacent skin attached — in spirit. 



The tumour was dissected from over the crest of the ilium of a 

 man aged 60 years. The patient recovered perfectly from the operation. 

 The cut surface of the tumour shows a series of delicate 

 septa of fibrous tissue, separating lobules of a soft material, 

 which is in some places breaking down. The tumour has the 

 appearance of being encapsuled on its deep aspect. 



G. C. 778. 

 Presented hy William Newbigging, F.R.C.S.E. 1825. 



9. 46. Sarcoma. — Section, in spirit, of what was a very large 

 tumour. 



It ^vas removed after death. It occupied the whole side of the neck 

 above the clavicle, and ' ' seemed to originate in the cellular substance, the 

 muscles over it being expanded, and the cervical nerves " (passing) 

 "through it apparently sound. The tumour was of a rich dark brown 

 colour, and consisted chiefly of a pulpy matter, contained in a fibrous 

 network. The spirits have removed the colour." 



Except that the lobules are smaller, the structure of this 

 specimen is similar to that of the last. G. C. 228. 



Presented hy Professor J. W. Turxee. 



9. 47. Very Largfe Sarcoma. — Section of an enormous tumour^ 

 in spirit. It has a variable consistence having evidently been 

 softening in some places more than in others. It is largely 

 composed of a structure like that of the foregoing specimen, in 

 which strands of delicate fibrous tissue intersect a soft substance. 

 In many places, however, the soft substance shows no inter-
