A carcinoma is al-ways (sometimes with modifications in structure, such as cancroid, col-loid carcinoma) a formation of epithelioid elements in a connective-tissuebasis. The boundaries of the remaining tissue are not respected by theneoplasm, for the latter grows, in atypical form, into the glands andvessels without stopping at their enveloping membrane. A piece ofcuretted mucous membrane is sufficient for this diagnosis, for in the.

No one can hesitate to recognize in Fig. 37, a curetted particle,the presence of a carcinoma.
