Deciduoma malignum is a rare disease. In the fifteen years of the author’s prac- tice he has come in contact with only one case. There are still many unsolved prob- lems connected with this subject which can be made clear only by accurate clinical and pathological studies of those cases which now and then come under our notice. This condition was first described by Sanger in 1888, when, before the Leipsic Obstetrical Society, he reported two “un- usual cases of abortion.” His investiga- tions at that time led him to designate the growth as deciduoma malignum, deciduoma metastica malignum, describing it as be- longing to the sarcoma group with the power of rapidly forming metastases.
