![cysts frequently become bony, and then cease to grow. The contents of these encysted tumours differ very much; as a general rule, however, they always consist of inorganic, fatty, or lymph-like fluids. If they contain animal fat, they are called LARDY or FATTY TUMOURS, lépoma, steatoma,* if they contain a clearish serous fluid, and the bag itself is no where attached, but loosely enclosed in the tissue of the organ, in the cavities of the body, or in their own more common capsules, they are called uypatips, hydatides ;° should the fluids be similar, whilst the sacs are firmly attached, as other encysted tumours, they obtain the name hygroma, tumor serosus, lymphaticus, cystis serosa, hydrops saccatus, §c.;° if they contain a thicker substance similar to the lubricating fluid of joints, they are called syNoviaAL TUMOURS, tumores synoviales, or ganglia,’ finally, if the contents be more or less coagulated and granular, such are called GRANULAR TUMOURS, atheroma, Or HONEY-LIKE TUMOURS, meliceris,® &c. We not unfrequently find also besides the substances already mentioned, hairs,’ pieces of bone, and teeth” in encysted tumours. (1) Compare Reus Repertor. Comment.
