The greater part is permeated bywide blood-spaces (Fig. 26, h) ; and these are separatedfrom the tumour-cells by only one or two layers of veryelongated cells which, when seen edgewise, look like Fig. 2i. *•* ft . *•- • • •-. 4 11 Showinj^ the charactor of the cells that form the chief partof the tiiinoiir. x ;3(H). fibres; the blood-spaces are so numerous as to give thegrowth the almost cavernous character before between the blood-vessels the tumour-cells arelarger (contain more protojilasm) (Fig. 24), and at thecentre of some of these avascular areas are groups ofspherical pigmented cor])Uscles; similar pigment massesare also found close to the walls of many of the periphery of the base of the tumour, ])resumably itsyoungest part, where it thins out into the choroid, consistsentirely of unpigmented small cells, and contains but fewvessels (Fig. 28, h). ihit the specimen is peculinr. imt so much in furnishing jni 96 DISEASES OF THE KETINA AND CHOROID. example of angiomatous sarcoma, as because the outer andinner surfaces of the tumour are each covered to a largeextent by a stratum of structure totally unlike that of the Fig. 25.
