The axillary glands, also, are not enlarged, at least not to anymaterial extent. The nipple will usually be found to be normal in itsshape, and not depressed. The eventual development of malignant action in these cystic tumorsby the deposit of cancer in the interior of the large cysts must not beoverlooked. A tumor of this kind may be benign for many years, andremain generally so throughout the greater portion of its structure; yet,after removal, encephaloid may be found to have formed in some of thecj^sts.
