Gynaecology for students and practitioners . Pig. 380. Portion of PapilliferousProcess seen in Fig. 379 under a higherpower, showing well-marked malignant pro-liferation of the epithelium. MALIGNANT EPITHELIAL TUMOURS 675 Carcinoma of the ovary is very variable in its histological Fig. 381. Cystic Adeno-carcinoma of the Ovary (Charing Cross HospitalMuseum). The large tumour is partly cystic, and partlj solid ; one of thesolid portions has been laid open. A similar growth of somewhat smallersize was present in the other ovary. The microscopic appearances were thoseof the diffused form of carcinoma {see Fig. 385). Macroscopically two principal groups are distinguishable : (1) thecystic adeno-carcinoma, and (2) the solid carcinoma. (1) The cystic adeno-carcinoma corresponds in its naked-eye 676 GYNECOLOGY characters to a benign cystic adenoma, and it is often necessary tomake a most careful, histological investigation before its malignancyis discovered. It occurs as a multilocular cystic tumour (see Fig. 381),containing, as a rule, inverting or papillary growths and a fluid whichvaries within very wide limits, but which frequently consists largelyof pseudomucin. When apparently solid, very soft, brain-like, whiteor yellowish areas appear in a multilocular cyst, th
