No epithelial cells are found in directcontact with vascidar connective tissue. Primary carcinoma of the body of the uterus is very rare, and espe-cially so in women less than fifty years of age. It is attended byenlargement of the uterus, profuse and often fetid vaginal discharge,and fitful attacks of hemorrhage. As some of these symptoms attendadenomatous disease of the mucous membrane, it is often necessary toremove with the sharp curette fragments of tissue for examinationunder the microscope
