The enlargement of the thyroidgland in bronchocele, and the contents of compound ovarian cysts, aregenerally owing to the formation of colloid matter (Fig. 320). Notunfrequently colloid masses become iudurated, aud assume a radiatingstriated appearance (Fig. 321). * Monthly Journal of Medical Science, May 1854. Fig 320.
