The wall of ajollicu/ar cijsf is composed of three layers : an outerlayer of endothelial cells or in small growths of cuhoidal middle layer of white fibrous tissue containing l)lood-vessels andIvmphatics, an inner layer of membrana granulosa like that of theGraafian follicle. This membrana granulosa is maintained until thecyst reaches the approximate size of an egg. Jn tumors the size ofan orange the lining layer changes finally to a flat epithelium. In Figure Microcystic degeneration of the ovary ; the ovary to the right shows numerous small cystsscattered over the surface : these are Graafian follicles which have undergone cystic degenera-tion, and which it is said may take on excessive growth and develop into large tumors, or mayremain as here represented; ou the other side is shown a similar condition of the ovary inSection. large cysts containing much more fluid the epithelium disappearsby atrophy and gives way to fibrous tissue. The atrophic process isdue to pressure of the fluid contents. The fluid is apt to be identicalwith mucus, a fact doubtless owing to the lining of epithelium. 2. Corpus Luteum Cysts. The wall of a corpus luteum cyst sometimes may be recognized bythe wavy aspect and yellow color of its inner surface. The externallayer is composed of connective-tissue stroma containing blood- around which at many points are groups of r
