Wherever there are tuberculous ulcers of theintestine, we may be epiite sure that the mesenteric nodes are tuber-culous, even though on section they appear normal. The size of theindividual lymph nodes varies from 1 to 3 cm. They may be groupedin masses of considerable size. Holt speaks of a mass the size of achilds head at birth. It is not uncommon to see masses the size ofa hens egg (Fig. 75).The peritoneum is usually matted together everywhere and full of TUBERCULOSIS 371 Fig. 73. Fio. 74
