They are FIHKOID TUMOURS OF THE UTERUS 111 must often situated mi the anterior aspect and expand forwards behindami underneath the bladder. They may attain a large size and sooncause Madder symptoms, beginning with irritability and often leading toretention of urine. Tho body of the uterus usually remains quite smalland rests, as it were, on tho top of tho cervical tumour. Fig. Ill is atypical cervical fibroid growing from the anterior aspect of the cervix ;the small body of the uterus is seen on the top of the Fio. 111.—Cervical Fibroid.

On section it has the appearance of a local-ised thickening of the uterine wall. It may form a polypus as in fig. cut surface has a mottled appearance, owing to the presence of theadenomatous areas in it. They never attain a large size and are seldommet with bigger than the fist.
