Kleinhans compares this case tothe rare condition of adenoma malignum cervicis^ which isrelatively innocent, he thinks it demonstrated a form ofmalignancy of low type. Such a view is now known tobe erroneous. Cases 9-13. In 1909 R. Meyer reported on five cases oftumours in the recto-genital space ; the specimens were sentto him by Gerstenberg, Glockner, Mackendrodt, and Rumpf(two cases). Two of the growths were removed during opera-. tion for carcinoma of the portio cervicis. Cases 3, 4, and II OF THE RECTO-GENITAL SPACE 339 were nodules removed because they were painful, the painbeing chiefly felt during coitus. The masses were diffuse, non-circumscribed, and therefore thought to be inflammatory. They were associated with perimetritic adhesions, and inone case with adherent omentum. Partial resection of therectum was performed in one instance. Meyer regardedall the cases as examples of parametritis nodosa posterior,and stated that those described by von Herff, Pfannenstiel,von Franque, Pick,and others, are of this parametritic difl^use examples of the same condition were illus-trated by the cases of Fiith, von Franque, Kleinhans, andMoraller. The distinction between parametritis nodosaand diffusa was quantitative only, the genesis was the samein each. The diffuse form spreads downwards over
