![roidal-celled carcinoma with abundant stroma. The peritoneum forming the omentum is remarkably free from fat. William G., set. 21, was admitted under Dr. Cholmeley in 1828 for ascites and died three weeks after Ms admission. At the autopsy growths similar to those shewn in the preparation were found on all parts of the peritoneum and in the liver. See Imp. vol. 6, p. 109; and Preps. 1931 (32) & 1931 (64) [2nd Edit.]. 1228 Carcinoma of the Peritoneum. Portions of a diaphragm the peritoneal surface of which is covered by a thick layer of growth having the histo- logical characters of spheroidal-celled carcinoma. The surface of the growth has a remarkably shaggy appearance from the presence of numerous flocculent processes. John G., set. 18, was admitted under Dr. Cholmeley in 1830 for a tumour occupying the greater part of the left side of the abdomen. He died a fortnight after admission, and at the autopsy a large growth was found in the left kidney, and there were secondary deposits in the pleura, peritoneum, and lymphatic glands. See Imp. vol. 10, p. 47; and Frep. 2057 (80) [2nd Edit.]. 1229 Carcinoma of the Peritoneum. A portion of parietal peritoneum the surface of which is covered by numerous small nodules of growth. There is a single larger growth, spherical in shape and measuring half an inch in diameter, attached to the serous membrane by a narrow base. Histological exa- mination shews that these growths are secondary deposits of cylindrical-celled carcinoma. From a male set. 70. 1230 Carcinoma of the Peritoneum and Pleura. A portion of a diaphragm presenting several isolated nodules of growth upon its peritoneal covering. On the reverse of the specimen similar nodules are seen upon the pleura. The growths appear to have an indepen- dent origin in the two serous membranes and have not](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21535978_0456.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
