Attention has MALIGNANT CHANGES IN FIBROIDS 457 already been drawn to the close association of hyaline degeneration ofconnective tissue and malignant metaplasia of muscle. Fibromyomata of the uterus are sometimes invaded by a sarcomaarising in the uterine wall {see Figs. 229 and 230), and it is due to thisfact that doubt has arisen as to a true malignant change arising denovo in the fibromyomatous tissue itself. A sarcoma starting in the muscle-wall of the uterus is difficult todistinguish from one starting in the muscle of a fibroid tumour, as.
