Edematousinfiltrations of tissue, apoplectic foci and necrotic cysts caused by dis-turbances of the circulation are also not seldom formed in these tumors,similar to those described under Uterine Fibromyomata. Fibromyomata, with more or less considerable portions of smoothmusculature, occur in the ovary. They are, however, relatively rare,and otherwise to be separated from the fibromata only by means of the j&r\>.
