Fig. 232.—Cylindrical-celled carcinoma from the upper part of the cervix, invading the fundus ; X 150(after Cornil) : m,e, hypertrophied glands of the body of the uterus, like those of chronic metritis; t, en-larged glandular cavity, the walls showing many layers of epithelium ; b, adjacent gland-wall in a similarstate ; v, vessels ; c, connective tissue. Cylindrical-celled carcinoma is much more malignant than the squa-mous-celled variety. Carcinoma of the cervical canal creeps along themucous membrane into the cavity of the uterus. The intra-uterinepart of the tumor presents under the microscope a structure similar tothat of the primary tumor (Fig. 233). Primary carcinoma of the body of the uterus is a much rarer affec-tion than carcinoma of the cervix. Clinically, carcinoma of the uterinecavity presents itself in two forms, the circumscribed {¥\^. 234) and thediffuse (Fig. 235). In the form the tumor often attainsconsiderable size before it breaks down, and frcfiu
