Prudden has found cells with the transverse markingsin a tumour from the angle of the mandible of a boy 7years of age; other examples connected with the periosteumhave been reported by Zenker and Bayer, who foundthem in the orbit. Targett found one on the scapulaof a child 6 months old ; and Marchand has described one 56 CONNECTIVE-TISSUE TUMOURS which grew from the ischial tuberosity of a boy 4 yearsof age. Pernice has recorded in detail a remarkable exampleconnected with the neck of the uterus. The tumour con-tained a large number of transversely striated spindles(Figs. 37, 38). The tumour was removed, but quickly. Fig. 37.—Racemose sarcoma of the neck of the uterus, {^fter Fernice.) recurred; it was removed a second time, but reappearedand speedily caused death. A careful examination of therecurrent tumour showed it to consist of spindle cells, butno striation could be detected. Grape-like (racemose) sarcoma of the neek of the uterus.— Pernices specimen, to which reference has alreadybeen made, belongs to a rare variety of sarcoma, ofwhich about a dozen carefully observed examples have beendescribed since Spiegelberg drew attention to this disease 8ABG0MAS 57 in 1879 (Whitridge Williams). Curtis has described anexample which occurred in an infant a year old, and hascollected the literature. In some of the specimens thegrape-like bodies are covered with columnar epithelium,the bulk of the grape consisting of oedematous spindle-and round-celled sarcomatous tissue.
