They influencethe size and shape of the organ to a very marked degree ;the cavity is expanded or elongated ; the muscularis itself,and often the mucosa as well, are both hypertrophied. Thegrowths can be easily shelled out of a definite bed owing toa loose connection with the uterine wall, through the inter-vention of a very vascular connective-tissue capsule (seeMyomectomy, Part III. chapter i. page 477).
