This tumor is generally ofsmall dimensions, varying insize from a pea to an orange ;occasionally, however, it at-tains a much greater size, andmight be mistaken for anovarian cyst. It is usually adisease of early life, and issometimes congenital. Thereare no positive signs by whicha cyst of the broad ligamentcan be distinguished from acyst of the ovary; but in casethe operation of ovariotomywere undertaken, and the tumor should be of the character now de-scribed, no doubt the surgeon ought to proceed with its removal, castingthe ligature about the broad ligament and Fallopian Cystic Tumor of Broad Li£ment of Vessels mem, with unusual develop-3U diam.

They may remain attached to the uterus by broad bases,or by narrow and somewhat flexible pedicles. Fibrous tumors, of submucous origin, which occupy the cavity of the uterus and have nar-row pedicles, are termed fibrous polypi. These tumors often growvery slowly; and, when their growth is mainly at the expense of theexterior wall of the uterus, they may cause for a long time but slightlocal or general disturbance.
