This healing ofsecondary deposits is of importance in connection with treatment, for itencourages us to make an attempt at the complete removal of the primaryfocus even in cases where physical examination shows that the lung isslightly Fir:. 100.—Chorionepithelioma of the Uterus (). The tumour is composed of two types of cells, large masses of nucleated protoplasm,the syncytium and isolated epithelial cells, Langhans cells.
