than others and connective tissue around the stalk vessels seems hyaline. 
Capsule for most part not thickened but space contains cells and 
detritus in many instances. Epithelium of the tubules for the most 
part swollen, loosened and without nuclei. Some imperfectly formed 
casts. The intestine shows distinct congestion of the whole mucosa 
with here and there definite small hemorrhages well out in the villi. 
Slight round cell increase but no definite fibrosis. In submucosa around 
vessels connective tissue is hyaline in many places. The tumor on side 
consists of dense strands of connective tissue forming alveoli of vary- 
ing size containing an exudate of fibrin and cells, about three-fourths 
of the latter being mononuclears. Neither connective tissue nor cells 
are arranged in a characteristic or peculiar manner so the observer 
is forced to conclude that this is one of the conditions of the group 
called Botryomycosis.
