(3) So also large pieces are lost by mortification, from the mucous membrane of the alimentary canal, or of the urinary organs. (4) See several instances in Cruveilhier Essai sur Anatomie Pathol. Vol. I. p- 127. I have, a short time since, observed a complete spontaneous separation, by mortification, of a large sarcom from the shoulder; after some time, however, it was reproduced. § 63. The last kind of vice of texture, which occurs in conse- quence of inflammation or a similar state, depending on a greater degree of plasticity, is not, as the already mentioned vices, a morbid change of the normal part of the organism, but the FORMATION OF NEW SUBSTANCES EITHER NOT pre- viously existing AT THIS PARTICULAR SPOT, OR GENERALLY NOT IN THE BODY, which are called spuRIOUS FORMATIONS, pseudoplasmata, pseudorganisationes,' and as they also usually produce local swellings, must be numbered among TuMmouRs, tumores, phymata.” Some of these spurious formations are accurately separated from the normal parts, are of a non- malignant character, and with reference to their texture, sometimes in a measure resemble the natural tissue*—others are less defined, have a disposition to seize upon and destroy the neighbouring parts, are at first hard, but gradually soften, are all more or less of a malignant kind, and in their texture have but little resemblance to the natural tissues. To the former kind belong the ENCYSTED swELLING, to the latter TUBERCLES, SARCOMA, and CANCER, all of which must be here particularly treated of. (1) v.
