Macroscopically a dermoid presents a decided contrast to an ordinaryraultiloeular cyst, having a dull appearance and a darker color (instead of 636 NEOPLASMS OF THE OVARIES, TUBES, AND BROAD LIGAMENTS. being white and glistening), with yellowish patches where the caseous con-tents are seen through the thinned wall. The wall is usually thicker thanin an ordinary cyst, and is lined with a layer of tissue, either smooth orthrown into folds or projections, presenting the appearance of skin. Der-moids nearly always contain hair, which may spring from the inner sur-face singly or in tufts, or may be rolled into balls. This hair is usuallyof a coarse texture, and either light or dark, its color bearing no relation tothat of the patients hair.
