Thesetumors are most frequent in the cervi-cal canal. The addition of the glandular ele-ment renders their surface lobulated or corrugated, whereas pure myxomahas a smooth surface. According as the myxomatous or the glandulartissue prevails, the tumors will be termed either adeno-myxoma or myxo-adenoma. Not infrequently myxomatous polypi contain cavities of varyingsizes filled with a serous liquid. In pure myxoma such cavities result frompartial liquefaction of the tissue, and then we term them Fig. Cysto-myxo-adenoma of the cervicalcanal, or cervical polypi.—P, P, pedicles at-tached to mucosa; C, C, cysts. BENIGN NEOPLASMS OF THE UTERUS. 551 If the cavities have originated from the glands and are lined with epithe-lium, the name of the tumor is cysto-myxoma or cysto-adeno-myxoma. Treatment.—The removal of these tumors is readily accomplishedwith scissors and a sharp curette. Subsequent to their removal a local Fio. 2.
