In someof the reported cases evidences of atubercular tendency were noted, but these were doubtless of the masses may have been pure fibromata. Lemarieys casepresented as its characteristic histological features submucous plaques offibrous tissue, and, entirely apart from these, perivascular deposits of thesame nature.
