With the myxomatousdegeneration the tumor becomes softer, and a sense of fluctuation is felton palpation if the degeneration has become extensive. Caseation has been observed in sarcoma as another form of regres-sive metamorphosis. It begins in different parts of the tumor at thesame time, and by the coalescence of different foci large cavities filledwith cheesy material are formed.
