This organism produces a toxin. Besson found that if spores freed from the toxin were injected they were destroyed by the phagocytes and no lesions were obtained. Morbid anatomy. On the expansion of a tumor appearing in any part of the body, the connective tissue is distended and infiltrated with yellow or reddish fluid containing many small gas bubbles, which emits a characteristic odor. These gelatinous infiltrations of the connective tissue follow between the deeper layers of the muscle. The muscle itself is often sallow or dark red in color and is very brittle. The connective tissue in places is often sprinkled with larger or smaller hemorrhages. In the intestinal cavity there is a little reddish, serous fluid; the peritoneum is deeply injected. In the cases in which malignant edema has developed in connection with parturi- tion the uterus is insufiiciently contracted, the subserous connective tissue of the true pelvis and the walls of the uterus are edematously infiltrated. The spleen is usually not affected. Occasionally acute tumors with gas formation are found in the pulp (Frohner). The liver may show. Please note that these images are extracted from scan
