The pathology and surgical treatment of tumors . heir margins arenot so sharply defined from the ground-substance as in 546 PATHOLOGY AND TREATMENT OF TUMORS. The ground-substance is composed of all possible forms of con-nective tissue—homogeneous, granular, myxomatous, cellular, andfibrillary. The vessels are numerous, large, and always capillary, andthe intercellular tissue is scanty, imparting to the structure an angioma-tous appearance. In many forms the cells are closely grouped aroundthe vessels, as if they were developed in their wall and had closedsheaths around them. The

In many forms the cells are closely grouped aroundthe vessels, as if they were developed in their wall and had closedsheaths around them. The masses of cells thus formed, with a blood-vessel for a centre, may be packed closely together in long strings withmore or less frequent anastomoses, or they may be arranged in roundedgroups, giving the tumor an alveolar appearance. Sometimes the wallsof the blood-vessels and the adjacent tissues, in these as in other formsof tumors, undergo hyaline degeneration, giving to the whole or toparts of the tumor a more or less gelatinous
