They possess a fibrous capsule, and internally con-sist of a great number of loculi, some of which will scarcelyaccommodate a pea, whilst others hold a litre or more offluid. The loculi in the early stages of growth are lined withtall columnar epithelium and the walls contain mucousglands. In some tumors the lining membrane is indistin-guishable from mucous membrane. The fluid contained insuch loculi is identical with mucus, and it varies in consist-ency from that of the white of an egg to the gluey con-dition of jelly. Ovarian adenomata attain enormous dimensions—thirty,forty, and even fifty kilogrammes. 7. Dermoids.—A very large proportion of cysts arisingin the oophoron contain skin or mucous membrane, or both.
