The proliferating endothelial cells liein lymph-spaces. Many endotheliomata grow rapidly, secondary growthsform, and metastases are apt to pass to the serous membranes. Certainendotheliomata grow slowly, do not infiltrate adjacent structure, and do notproduce secondary growths. In the brain and cord endothelioma may produceno symptoms for along time. It is not as yet possible, clinically, to differen-tiate distinctly between endotheliomata and ordinary sarcomata. II. Mycosis or granuloma fungoides is a disease which resembles sarcomain many particulars and may perhaps be a
