Adipose tumors are collections of fatly matter inclosed in a cyst orsac of condensed cellular membrane, which renders them also encystedtumors. When filled with a suet-like matter, they are called stealo-mous ; when containing a honey-like substance, melicerous; and whentheir contents are a pap-like fluid, atheromatous They are not pain-ful, and only inconvenience the patient by their bulk, weight, or pres-sure. They tire easily removed by making n T incision through theskin, and carefully dissecting around them to detach the cysts from thesurrounding structures. They may be removed by the eight-tailedligature, fig. 197, two needles being drawn through the under sideof the tumor, touching each other at right angles, and each carryinga double ligature ; the loops are then cut, and the ends tied in fourknots, by which the tumor is completely strangulated. These rumondo not reappear after having be«n entirely removed. TUMORS 841 Fig. Fibrous tumoit aretomposed of capsules jfgreater or less densi-ty, inclosing yellow orwhitish substances di-vided into lobes or septaby cellular substance ;their shape is irregular,and they have a doughyconsistence. They arenot painful, and are easi-ly removed by the liga-ture or knife, being al-most always situated inaccessible places. The gature k-k tumors fibrinous contents of tl ese tumors adhere so loosely to their capsulesthat they can readily be removed by the finger or forceps on makingan incision through the skin. Cellular tumors are smooth, firm, and composed of compacted layersof areolar tissue, containing, in thin cells, albuminous, fibrinous, and se-baceous matter. They aro never painful except when inflamed. Thecutaneous veins involved in the tumors may become varicose, and whenabrasion occurs, sloughing and fungous growths are apt to follow. Ex-cision with the knife is tho best treatment; but when slo
