They may also originate in structures originally andnormally within the mesentery. Chvlous cvsts are not common. Porter collected twenty such cases and, in.

Appleton & Co., Xew York, Pubhshers.) doing SO, he noted twenty-nine cases of simple serous cysts. Chylous cystsare usually due to an accumulation of chyle in a preformed cyst. Parasitic cysts, hydatid cysts, of the mesentery are not so rare. In 1899no fewer than twenty-nine cases were collected, and since then many new caseshave been reported. Cystic tumors occur twice as often as solid tumors. Malignant cysts are more commonly sarcomata than carcinomata. Non-mahgnant cysts may occur at any age, their size vaiying from thosewhich are minute to cysts weighing as much as forty pounds. They are usuallysingle, but may be multiple.
