Sarcoma {sar-ko' -mah)\adp^, flesh ; bpa, tumor : pi., Sar- 

 comata'}. A connective-tissue tumor in which the cells 

 so predominate in number, and often also in size, that 

 the intercellular substance becomes a seconds 

 ment. It may also be defined as a tumor made up of 

 embryonal connective tissue. Sarcomata are malignant 

 tumors, the small-celled forms and those of soft con- 

 sistency excelling in this respect. They appear, as a 

 rule, at an earlier age than carcinoma. The pi 

 of their causation is not solved : in many instances it 

 is possible to trace a history of injury. It is pro; 

 however, that the trauma merely acts as a predispos- 

 ing cause. To the naked eye sarcomata appear, as the 

 etymology of the word indicates, flesh-like. .A 

 scopically, the picture varies with the variety of tumor, 

 and whether it is a round-cell, a spindle-cell, or a giant- 

 cell sarcoma, or one of the other derivative forms. 

 Sarcomata are well supplied with blood, which, how- 

 ever, is not contained in true vessels, but in - 

 lined by endothelium. They are often combined 

 with other new-growths, especially with the so-i 

 mixed tumors and with certain congenital neoplasm.-, 

 as the rhabdomyoma. The most frequent SO 

 sarcoma are the connective-tissue of the skin, 

 osteum, intermuscular septa, tendons, subserous 

 nective-tissue, and the eye. The following are the 

 chief varieties: S., Alveolar, one in which ah 

 spaces are filled with sarcoma-cells. The walls oi 

 spaces are formed by embryonal tissue. The gi 

 resembles carcinoma. S., Angio-, one in whi< 

 vessel-walls have been conerted into sarcom 

 tissue. S., Angio-lithic. Synonym of Pi 

 S., Chloromatous, a round-celled sarcoma found 

 the periosteum of the skull. It has a greenish 

 S., Cylindromatous, a sarcoma traversed by 

 ders of myxomatous tissue. If the myxomatous d 

 eration affects the walls of the blood-vessels, the I 

 is termed Angiosarcoma myxomatodes. S., Encepha 

 loid, a soft, rapidly growing sarcoma, usually of i 

 round-cell variety. S., Endotheliomatous, 

 formed by the multiplication of the endothelial cell 

 of lymphatic spaces. S., Fascicular, S., Fascicu 

 lated. Synonyms of .V., Spi/idlc-celled. S., Gelat- 

 inous. Synonym of S., Myxo-. S., Giant-celled 

 one containing giant-cells as a prominent feature. 

 is comparatively benign. S., Lympho-, a rourM 

 celled sarcoma in which the cells an- held in a re 

 lum. S., Medullary. Synonym of .V. . / 

 S., Melano-, S., Melanotic, a sarcoma, u 

 die-celled, in which the cells contain a pigment,m< 

 nin. It is a very malignant tumor, occunin< 

 in the eye, with a tendency to metastasis to the 1 

 intestinal tract, skin, 'etc. S., Mixed-celled 

 Synonym of S., Polymorphous. S., Myeloid, 

 onym of S., Giant-celled. S., Myxo-. on 

 part has undergone myxomatous degeneratioa. B 

 Nest-celled. Svnonym of Psammoma. S.. Nft, 

 celled. Synonym of S., Myxo. S., Ossifying, S
