We shall see that this common disease has such well-defined anatomicaland clinical features that it quite suffices to designate it by the termepithelioma, and that the addition of the title cauliflower growth has onlyproduced confusion. If one says, as is now customary, epithelioma orcauliflower growth (papilloma) of the uterus, the latter name is superflu-ous and may be dropped. Nevertheless, it seems proper, in accordance with the good, originalobservations of Clarke, Gooch and others, to apply the title cauliflower-growth (papilloma) to a peculiar form of cervical neoplasm in order to. Fig. 41.—Microscopical Section of the Tltuor depicted in Fig. 40. (After Ackermann.) emphasize the characteristic peculiarities of the same. It is certain thatpapillary tumors of the portio vaginalis are encountered, although veryinfrequently, which doubtless belong to the class of carcinomatous growths,but which are, for a long time, not cancers and do not possess theanatomical or the clinical features of the latter. These papillomata pro-bably invariably become cancers, if left to themselves, but they are certainlynot cancers for a long time and do not recur if removed during the periodin question. Clarke, and afterward Gooch, accurately described the tumors called,from their external appearance, cauliflower-growths of the uterus, asuegplasmata proceeding from the lips of the os, especially from their outersurface. They consist of isolated villi, which impart a Avart-like appear- ?)56 NEW GROWTHS OF THE UTERUS ance to their surface, so t
