The cyst of the ovary has practically disappearedThe absence of the return of the tumor within fif¬ teen months warrants the conclusion that the radical operative treatment was perfectly successful, and the absence of a ventral hernia evidences the fact that even extensive defects of the abdominal wall can be success¬ fully repaired by plastic utilization of the remaining normal structures.Microscopic examination of the various portions of the tumor have kindly been made by Profesor Le Count, who confirmed the clinical diagnosis of desmoid fibroma, and submitted the following histologie examination : "From the section of the entire tumor, which was cut in a fresh condition, a number of small pieces were select¬ ed. These exhibited small variations in color and con¬ sistency, but histologically, were all found to contain essentially the same features, viz., well-fibrillated cells with scanty amount of intercellular substance. Such blood-vessels as were encountered resembled sinuses with atypical hyaline walls. The above-mentioned variations were judged to be due to difference in the amount of blood and to edema."
