Intimate Mixture of Cancer icith Enchondroma. There could scarcely be a more interesting question in surgicalpathology than the correlation of cancer and enchondroma with oneanother. It has long been known that they may co-exist asseparate and well-defined masses in the same tumour. Of this com-bination, an excellent example occurred in a patient who wasadmitted to the Adelaide Hospital a few years ago. He wasthirty-five years of age, and was operated upon by my colleague,Dr. Albert Walsh, who removed from the right side of the scrotuma large tumour that on section was found to be formed inferiorly ofa well-defined encapsuled mass of enchondroma, and superiorly of ?

The patient recovered, but subsequently diedfrom a large medullary cancer implicating the right medullary cancer has followed upon the removal of anunmingled enchondroma. Not only may enchondroma be mingledwith cancer in the primary tumour, and followed by cancer as asecondary disease; but there is evidence on record in favour of theopinion that the cartilaginous tumour, in the same way as cancer isitself capable of infecting the constitution. Those who considerthat enchondroma has this infecting influence attribute it to itsheteroplastic nature and occasional richness in Indeed,Virchow maintains that enchondroma may reach the extreme malig-nity of
