Medical and surgical reports . (60) and Thompson, those whobelieve the enlarged prostate to be a true new growth, usuallyfibro-myomatous in character, are many, either by declarationor implication. The facts that the prostate is purely a genital organ, ashas been definitely established (T5), and that it contains theuterus-masculinus, give ground for the reasoning that fibro-myomata may arise in the prostate analogous to those foundin the uterus (35). Grossly, however, the largest prostateis only occasionally as large as the average uterine of the uterus, even the intramural form, may inmost cases be sharply differentiated, by the eye at least, as adefinite tumor. The prostatic tumor, if a fibroid, must beconsidered atypically diffuse. Microscopically, the myoma-tous part of the uterine fibroid is more cellular and thenuclei are usually more uniformly distributed than in theprostatic tumor, that is, there are fewer of the hyaline fibrousareas resembling scar; and in the prostatic growth also, in.
