Besides the giant cells and smalltuberculous follicles developed in the vegetations, we may find in themuscular walls of the tube some follicles, of a greater or less size,containing giant cells. When the lesion is of long standing, sectionsof the purulent sac formed by the tube will show a smooth and con-tinuous layer of embryonal tissue on the internal surface.
