=Cysts and Tubercular Deposits= are extremely rare in the uterus. The latter affect primarily the lining membrane, where it occurs in the miliary form, or accumulated in masses, aggregated into nodules, or forming a cheesy layer over the entire surface. The uterine tissue may be secondarily affected, and is then liable to become infiltrated with the morbid product. Traces of the disease are found also in the vagina as spots of ulceration, and in the Fallopian tubes. =Cancer.= Carcinoma of the uterus is of frequent occurrence. The period of life in which it is most frequently met with, is that between the fortieth and fiftieth years. Although met with in single women, it is found most frequently among the married. In general, this disease attacks the cervix first, whereby it is distinguished from fibroid growths. Many instances of supposed cancers, prove on microscopic examination, to be nothing more than an irregular thickening and induration of the cervix, consequent upon chronic inflammation. According to Rokitansky, the prevailing form of uterine cancer is the medullary carcinoma, appearing as an infiltration of a white lardaceo-cartilaginous, or loose encephaloid matter, in which the uterine tissue is lost, and giving rise to the characteristic nodulated surface of the cervical portion of the organ. Of rarer occurrence is the fibrous cancer, consisting of dense, whitish, reticulated fibres, containing in their meshes a pale-yellowish translucent substance. Its limits are not sharply defined, but are lost in the uterine tissue. Nowhere does the destructive character of the cancerous disease manifest such virulence, as when attacking the uterus. The degeneration spreads more or less rapidly to the adjoining parts, and, in extreme cases, the whole contents of the abdomen are matted together, and present a frightful spectacle of disorganization and destruction. =Cauliflower Excrescence= of the cervix, is regarded by both Rokitansky and Renaud, as a modification of encephaloid growth. It appears as an irregular projection, with a base as broad as any other part of it, attached to some part of the cervix. The surface has a granulated feel. On removal from the body it collapses, owing to its vascular character.[37] Morbid Conditions following Parturition.
