The connective tissuewas rich in cells. This tumor contained both cartilage and bone. They may also becalcified as in the case reported by Warren (Surgical Observations on Tumors, London,1837, p. 213) of a tumor of two years duration that was removed from the breast of awoman 45 years of age, and which is described as an osseous and cartilaginous tumor thatcontained three separate calcareous nodules. The occurrence of glandular tissue in chondroma is also reported by Davidsohn whodescribes the microscopy of the tumor as follows:. Fig. 143.—Osteo-chon-droma of the breast.(Koloezek.) 360 THE BREAST In a matrix poor in nuclei are numerous clusters and strands of cells whose peculiarity is well broughtout by simple staining with hematoxylin. Beside glandular remnants whose lobules are, in part,dilated, and lined with a flattened epithelium, are cells in columns of 2, 3, 4 or more, surrounded by acapsule. They have rounded or ovoid nuclei, distinct chromatin threads, suggesting cartilage with kresylviolette, an anilin color well adapted to the demonstration of chondrin, gives abrilliant color to the capsule borders while the surrounding tissue takes a pale red hue. He believes thistumor to have been a chondroma that developed between the glandular lobules, and not a mixed tumor. The tumor removed by Happel {loc. cit.) was the size of a childs head at the timeof operation. When microscopically examined it consisted in part of spindle c
