Microscopic analysis shows that thecentre of each lobule contains some partly dilated acini, though its prin-cipal mass consists of a firm fibro-sarcomatous tissue, as is always foundin the fibro-sarcomata occurring in young persons. If one imagines thefatty tissue, which is replaced in the more central parts of the tumor byloose bundles of connective tissue, absent, and the fibromatous tissue,which surrounds the single gland lobules, to be continuous, the tumorwould in no wise differ from the ordinary fibro-sarcoma of the Fig. 29.—From a Fibrotts Lobular Adenoma of the Breast. Fig. 28. Hartnack, Syst. 5. I have no doubt that this tumor corresponds to what Forster saw, and ofwhich he has made a teased preparation (Fig 30). So lobular and gland-like seemed the tumor which I saAV, that I couldnot prove that the acini found therein were pathologically sliort time ago I saw a very similar tumor, in an unmarried woman,about 30 years old, with poorly developed breasts; there had formed alarge number of hard, granular nodules, Avhich varied in size from thatof a pea to a bean, and part of which had in the course of the lastfew Aveeks become confluent. After the extirpation, the single hard nod-ules looked exactly as shown in Fig. 29; between them there Avas com- TUMORS OF THE MAMMARY GLAND. 81 pletely normal tissue. It would seem right to me to describe these casesas multiple lobular fibroma, which they are, anatomically speaking;though, if we must absolutely have a partial hypertrophy of the
