A terra applied by Miiller to those lipomata in which the capsule is so thick and strong that the tumour has almost the characters of a fibrous growth. Jm. myxomato'des. See Myxolipoma. Ii., nae'void. {Naviis; Gr. £i5os, like- ness.) Same as L. teleangeiectodes. na'sal. (L. nasalis, belonging to the nose.) A name erroneously given to the irregular lobulated masses caused by an hypertrophic condition of the cellular tissue and sebaceous follicles of the nose. It occurs in broken-down constitutions after fifty years of age. Ii. of brain. A rare disease, most likely to occur in the raphe of the corpus callosum and fornix, because fat is most commonly present in these parts.. Ii. Of Fallo'plan tube. A fatty tumour, usually of small size, growing between the folds of the broad ligament at the lower surface of the tube. Ii. of heart. An extremely rare disease, consisting of a fatty tumour embedded in the muscular tissue of the heart. It. of intes'tine. A growth of fat origi- nating in the submucous tissue of the intestines, sometimes projecting like a polypus into the lumen of the intestine. Ii. of kld'ney. This afi'ection is most common in the subcapsular tissue, but occa- sionally occurs in the peripheral region of the kidney, or in the paranephritic tissue, sometimes preceding and sometimes consecutive to contrac- tion of the organ.

If. of lungrs. Small fatty tumours, about the size of a lentil or of a pea, situated beneath the pleura. They are of rare occurrence. Ii. of mam'mary grland. True fatty tumours, as distinguished from fatty infiltration, occasionally found in connection with the female breast. It is very doubtful if true lipoma ever occurs in the mammary gland itself, it arises from the surrounding areolar tissue. Ii. Of nose. See Z., nasal. Jm, Of oesopb'agrus. A fatty tumour ori- ginating in the submucous cellular tissue of the CBSophagus, and projecting into the lumen of the tube. It rarely or never interferes with deglu- tition. Ji, of pal'ate. A disease of rare occur- rence. One has been described by Lambl of the size of a pear springing from the posterior sur- face of the palate. Ii. of peritone'um. Fatty growths oii- ginating in the subperitoneal connective tissue, and sometimes becoming detached and lying free in the peritoneal cavity. Ii. Of spi nal mem'branes. A not un- common afi'ection, consisting of a growth of fat in the vertebral canal, and either caused by pro- liferation of the perimening'eal fatty tissue when it is situated outside the dui-a mater, or arising from the arachnoid and pia mater when it is situated within the dura mater. Ii. of tongrue. An intermuscular fatty tumour of the tongue, usually insensitive and developing slowly. 1$, of vul'va. A fatty tumour of this region, sometimes attaining an enormous size.

It is the result either of a new formation of fat, or of the fatty degeneration of pre-existing tissues. Ii. musculo'rum. (L. musculus, a muscle.) A synonym of FseudO'hypertrophic paralysis. Ii. musculo'rum luxu'rlans progrres- si'va. (L. musculus ; hcxurio, to be rank; pro-- gressus, a going forwards.) Hellei-'s term for Fseudo-hypertrophic paralysis. Ii. of heart. (G. Fettherz.)
