Four of these showed someareas of pure adenocarcinoma while other areas presented the scirrhustype. These might be termed a scirrhus variety of 12 (Case 13) is an area of scirrhus from one of these cases. In seven cases the adeno type varied with portions in which theepithelium formed islands of cells separated from each other, some-times by slender and sometimes by broad bands of stroma. Often,.

Nests of cancer cells lying in between dense bundles however, the carcinoma is seen breaking through these limiting bandsof stroma and infiltrating lawlessly so that the alveolar arrangementmay be entirely lost. In three cases the neoplasm was a carcinoma simplex; two of themedullary and one of the scirrhus type. Fig. 13 from Case 64 represents the very cellular character ofone of these medullary tumors, and the insignificant amount of stromapresent. A large portion of the tumor was of this character.
