In fact, any epitheliated cystsmay become proliferous, and they are found in all parts of thebody.

From the outside of these secondary cysts othersgrow, and the same outgrowth maybe again repeated uponthem. So too, if these inner cysts are opened, another en-dogenous series may be disclosed within, and the buddingdoes not necessarily stop Want of space and failing vitality only, either in the patientor the part, put an end to the process.

The thickness of thewalls generally keeps pace with the growth of the cysts, thelittle ones looking only like distended bladders; but a smalladditional growth yields fibrous tissue, with vessels enteringthe pedicle and ramifying everywhere. The internal surfacelias epithelium, and often looks flocculent when the layer isnot very fine. Bui proliferous cysts have degrees of fertility.
