He doubtless refers to secondary nodules, such as those figured byWinekel. (Fig. 44.). NEOPLASMS OF THE OVARIES, TUBES, AND BROAD LIGAMENTS. 731 Sarcoma.—Primary sarcoma of the tube is still more rare than cancer,not over three or four authentic cases having been thus far recorded. ASpecimen presented by Dr. J. E. Janvrin to the New York ObstetricalSociety was thus described by the pathologist: The general histologicalconstruction of this newly-developed tissue would argue against its beingclassified as an inflammatory growth, but woidd place it among the mixedconnective-tissue growths. Owing to the large variety of histological ele-ments found, it is impossible to give it any single name which will in anyadequate manner express the condition. It may well be classed under oneof two headings,—either as a composite fibro-sarcoma or a composite myxo-sarcoma, the latter being the more accurate of the two. Symptoms nml Diagnosis.—It may be stated that in all the cases ofneoplasms of the tube above described the true condition w
