Secondary Sarcoma of theUterus. — The uterus is occasionallysecondarily involved by a sarcoma of the ovary. In 1894 I operated on apatient where there was a large friable tumor occupying the right side ofthe pelvis; it penetrated the uterus and formed a large mass in the uterinecavity, while a portion of the growth projected through the external os. examined this case and found that it was an angio-sarcoraa of the ovary.

See Johns Hojjk. Hosp. Bui., Dec189-t. A second most instructive case occurred in 1896. As seen from an exami-nation of Fig. 476, a lobulated and smooth mass projected from the cervicalcanal, and Fig. i7S shows that the utei-me cavitj was also tilled with large andsmall lobules of a new growth. Eeference to Fig. 477 shows that the growth
