These tumors are generally elastic,sometimes yielding under pressure, witha slight creaking sensation. Enchondromata cannot in themselvesbe regarded as malignant; nor indeeddoes the presence of a considerableamount of fibrous stroma vary essentiallythe prognosis. Those alone which areassociated with carcinoma in some of itsvarious forms are very liable to return,or to multiply themselves by infection,in other parts of the Elements.—A network of filamentous tissue existingin a greater or less degree constitutes the basi
