A system of surgery : pathological, diagnostic, therapeutic, and operative . r cor-puscles are well displayed in fig. 51. The cau-date bodies are particularly distinct. In regard to its arrangement, encephaloidmatter presents itself under three varieties of form, as a tumor, a stratum, andan infiltration, the first being the most common, and, surgically considered, theonly one of any particular interest. It varies in volume from that of a pea tothat of an adults head, its shape being generally somewhat ovoidal, and its surfacemore or less lobulated, as in fig. 51, from a specimen in my cabinet
A system of surgery : pathological, diagnostic, therapeutic, and operative . r cor-puscles are well displayed in fig. 51. The cau-date bodies are particularly distinct. In regard to its arrangement, encephaloidmatter presents itself under three varieties of form, as a tumor, a stratum, andan infiltration, the first being the most common, and, surgically considered, theonly one of any particular interest. It varies in volume from that of a pea tothat of an adults head, its shape being generally somewhat ovoidal, and its surfacemore or less lobulated, as in fig. 51, from a specimen in my cabinet. Its con-figuration, however, is always greatly influenced by the amount of pressureexerted upon it by the parts in which it is situated, and hence it is occasionallyvery much flattened, or irregularly compressed. When seated in the externalstructures, as in the subcutaneous and intermuscular cellular tissue, over thebones, in the mammary gland, and in the lymphatic ganglions, it has generally awell-marked cyst, of a grayish, whitish, or rosaceous appearance, and of con-. Stroma of encephaloid. Fig. 51.
