The pathology and surgical treatment of tumors . ilemma, somewhat thickened. conditions producing it. Witzel has recently shown that in many casesthe neuroma is found attached to the end of the bone in the tumor presents itself in the form of a bulbous enlargement of theend of the nerve, which closely resembles a spring onion in outline(Fig. 371). Cross-sections of such tumors show the numerical increaseof myelinic nerve-fibres (PI. 12, Fig. i). Under the same influence thefibroblasts proliferate and greatly increase the amount of connectivetissue, producing thus a true neurofibroma.

In the majority of casesthe tumor is limited and forms the bulbous extremity of the nerve;in some instances, as in the case reported by Haycm and Gilbert, thenerve is at this time enlarged for a very considerable distance, theenlargement being due to an abundant formation of small myelinicfibres and to hyperplasia of the i) interstitial connectivetissue.
