Fibroma is rare inthe subcutaneous cellular tissue; in the glands, except, perhaps, in themamma, it hardly ever occurs. The fibrous tumors just enumerated are particularly apt to developin middle age (from thirty to fifty years) ; they are rarer in youth, andstill more rare in advanced age. When we find them in the uterusof old women, there will probably have been there many years. Onlyfibroid neuromata, and bone and periosteal fibromata, occur in youngpersons, not exactly in children
