Later on, when the abscess has becomechronic, the lutein cells are in part replaced by granulations, but it is 648 GYNAECOLOGY -u) generally possible to distinguish their presence microscopically. Ina recently formed lutein abscess the characteristic yellow lining isvery obvious, and its folded appearance is maintained in those ofsmall dimensions. When granulations intermingle with lutein cells,the lining becomes coarsely granular, giving an appearance which hasbeen likened to frogs spawn. Figures 351 and 352 represent theaverage sizes of lutein abscesses. The largest which we have en-countered was the size of a foetal skull, and was densely embeddedin the left side of the pelvis. Lute
