Lympho-adenoma, on the contrary, will pro-duce nodulated protrusions over the mucosa, frequently of considerablesize, and the microscope shows not only an increase in the number of thelymph-corpuscles, but also a pronounced increase in the number of theutricular elands. In fungous endometritis an augmentation of the numberof lymph-corpuscles occurs only in the acute stage: when the process be-. 0 $m Lympho-adenoma of uterine mucosa, x 100 — n, utricular gland with folded epithelial lining;!-. three successive transverse sections of a utriculi : gland; l\ oblique section of a utriculargland; L, L, lymph-tissue; C, C, capillary blood-vessels. comes chronic thev will decrease in number and the original myxomatousnet-work will be transformed into myxo-fibrous or even fibrous connectivetissue, terminating in atrophy of the mucosa. In such a case the utricularglands are conspicuously diminished in number and some of them are foundtransformed into cysts. In lympho-adenoma the number of the lymph-corpuscles is not so considerably augmented as in acute hyperplastic endo-metritis, but, the disease being progressive, as in all tumors, atrophy ofthe lymphoid tissue will not take place.
