Concrete pus may likewise be mistaken for the firm yellow mat- ter effused in chronic inflammation. It differs from it, however, in being friable and easily broken up, and also in being enclosed in a cyst, whereas the yellow fibrinous substance is homogeneous and consistent, and almost inseparably diffused amongst and connected with the convoluted tubuli around it. The distinctive characters just described will be easily recognised on comparing the accom- panying representation of concrete pus en- cysted in the testicle witling. 651. Fig. 648. I examined two enlarged testicles taken from a man who died suddenly. Both glands had formerly been attacked with acute inflammation, and for some months before death they had been the seat of chronic pain. In the left testicle, which was the larger of the two, from two to three drachms of thick yellow inspissated pus were contained in a distinct cyst, which occupied the centre of the gland. There was no trace of tubuli, but the remainder of the organ was composed of a fibrous tissue : the sac of the tunica vaginalis was obliterated by close ad- hesions. The tunica vaginalis of the right testicle contained about half an ounce of yellowish serum and in the centre of the gland there was a small concrete abscess, but the tubular structure was apparent and very little diseased. Pus existing in this concrete' or in- spissated state often keep
