He is also of opinion that writers on surgical pathologyare in the habit of considering the presence of hyalin cartilageas evidence that the tumour is a sarcoma, and that chondri-fication of tissue in typical cancers has not been sufficientlyconsidered. He has, however, proved in an unequivocal waythat hyalin cartilage occurs in association with cancer of therectum (Fig. 287), and has proved its presence in a lymph-gland infected with carcinoma. Foulerton is also of opinionthat many, if not the majority, of malign tumours of the testis. SARCOMA 547 are more properly classed with the carcinomas than with thesarcomas ; at the same time he is in agreement with precedingobservers that malignant tumours of the testis arise in thehilum of this organ. Tumours containing transversely striated muscle-cellssometimes grow from the testicle (Fig. 288).
