Cylindromata are formed from those cells which clothe the mucous membranes, and the growths are usually met with in the rectum, sigmoid flexure, other parts of the intestine, and uterus. The neoplasms are found in various stages of development, some closely simulating the higher organization of the adenoid tumours, with which they have been confounded, in some cases the distinction being most difficult; but a true cylindroma is not encapsuled. The tumour is of comparatively slow growth, and is apt to disseminate chiefly by the liver and lungs. Colloid. Latin equivalent ... ... Morbus colloides. French „ ... ... Cancer colloi'de.
