![Fig. 114. Among the formations also which are analogous to the ordinary connective tissues, and are therefore apparently perfectly homologous and benignant, the succulent ones prove to be much more capable of communicating infec- tion than the dry ones. A myxoma which has always a good deal of fluid about it, is at all times a suspicious tumour, and, in proportion to the quantity of juice it contains, is its liability to recur. Cartilaginous tumours (Enchon- dromata) which were formerly described as unquestionably benig- nant, sometimes occur in soft and rather gelatinous forms, which may occasion just such internal metastases as cancer properly so called. Even connective-tissue1 [fibrous] tumours become, under certain circumstances, richer in cells and enlarge, whilst their interstitial connective tissue be- comes more succulent, nay in many cases disappears so completely, that at last scarcely anything but cel- lular elements remain. This is the kind of tumour which, according to my opinion, ought to be designated by the old name of Sarcoma. These sarcomata are frequently, indeed, benignant, still they do not infre- quently recur, like epithelial cancer, at their original site, whilst under certain circumstances they appear Kg 144.
