The resemblance between the groups of cancer cells and the acini GLANDULAR CARCINOMA 105 or tubules of glands is sometimes very great, especially in the youngerportions of the tumour, so that the tumour may be taken for an.

A special variety of glandular carcinoma is the scirilius (Fig. 51).We understand by this name a carcinoma in which the stroma isabundant, the alveoli narrow, and the cancer cells also frequentlysmall.
