The accompanying photograph gives itsanterior view. The entire surface was nodular, and therewere numerous adhesions. To touch, there was a fleshy feel,although not nearly so hard as a fibromyoma. This tumor Fig. Primary Carcinoma of the Left Ovary, 3 inches in diameter. was about five by seven inches in size. On section it was ofbrain-like consistency, and through it ran a meshwork of con-nective tissue. The smaller tumor, representing the left ovary,was globular in form, and nodulated. There were but few ad-hesions on its surface. The mesosalpinx, apparently free fromdisease, stretched over one side of the growth, while the tubewas elongated, somewhat thickened, the fimbriated extremity 36 The Hahnemannian Monthly.

This fluidwas liberated from the tube while handling it, and, after lyingfor a short time in the hardening fluid, obtained the shriveledappearance seen in the photograph. The cut surface of thistumor was the same as the one above described. The growthmeasured about three inches in diameter. Quite numerousmicroscopic sections were made in my laboratory of many partsof these tumors, and medullary carcinoma everywhere found.
