A manual of modern surgery : an exposition of the accepted doctrines and approved operative procedures of the present time, for the use of students and practitioners . ge. Metastatic abscesses commence as small,reddish and usually pyramidal sections of solidified tissue, which arefound most frequently near the periphery of the lungs, liver and soon break down into pus, producing abscesses, which are al-ways small, and which are surrounded by indurated tissue. These mul-tiple or metastatic abscesses result from the process of embolism asfollows :—At the seat of the original inflammation coagulation takesplace in the vessels; and on account of softening of these clots orthrombi, due to septic influences, small particles of the thrombi arewashed into the circulation, carrying along with them pyogenic bac-teria. These emboli lodge in the capillaries of the lungs or other vis-cera, cause impairment of circulation, and by their mycotic nature giverise to numerous suppurative points called metastatic or embolic ab-scesses. Such transportation of emboli may occur from a thrombo-phlebitis, a thrombo-arteritis or a septic endocarditis. Fig. Fig. 11.
