The metastatic growths are nearly always disseminated ; theymay vary from a mihary type to quite a large growth, and all variations insize may be met with in the same patient. The symptoms may be slightor marked according to the accessory lesions which accompany the newgro\Ath, such as pleurisy ; this may be dry or accompanied by efiusion. ^^^^HH f 4 ^ i^iH ^ J^l ^■1.
