Hitschmann and Cristofoletti came to the following conclusion: As a matter of fact, we are convinced that a histologic difference is entirely improbable. We know of absolutely no morphologic and biologic difference between the physiologic fetal tissue and the pathologic. The more carefully we study the earliest phases of placenta formation and compare them with chorio- NEW GROWTHS 375 epithelioma, the more we feel justified in the statement that between trophoblast(fetal tissue) and chorio-epithelioma there is no
