![large pieces. Not unfrequently is the medullary sarcom con- nected with MELANOSE, in consequence of which, as well as by the addition of the clotted blood, the original white substance of the tumour is coloured, either completely or partially, yel- lowish, dusky-red, brown, and dusky-black. Sometimes also, medullary sarcom is accompanied with hydatids,’ scrofula,’ polyps,* osteosarcom,’ &c., and seems to have an indistinct causal relation to these. True medullary sarcom does not appear to exist in animals, for under the terms melanosis tuberculosa, tubercula nigra, charbon, and morilles, of the French,’ &c. especially in horses, the disease is as it were intermediate between tubercles and medullary fungus, whilst particularly upon the vent and about the generative organs, although also on other parts of the body, in the cellular tissue and in the skin, tumours arise which are roundish, gibbous, increase to the size of eggs, penetrate the neighbouring tissues, break also by ulceration, and consist of an external delicate, cellular envelope, and similar internal partitions, into which a fluid, mostly pap-like, but sometimes a clotted and firm mass is effused, which especially consists of fibrous matter, albumen, and black pigment. Sometimes these tumours approximate in character to the encysted, but never are they so malignant as medullary fungus.

There is no difference in the nature of medullary and bloody fungus, both frequently occur in the same tumour, and run imperceptibly into each other; a bloody fungus, if it be removed, returns again as a medullary fungus, and vice versa ; the so-named bloody fungus arises out of medullary fungus, from effusion of fibrous matter and blood into its cellular tissue.* The best writings on medullary sarcom are, Burn’s Dissertations on Inflammations, Vol. II. p. 302, spongoid inflamm. — Hey, Practical observations on Surgery.
