other than the ovary or testis embryomata of similar structure occurred. The
new observation related to a liver, which had come into his hands at a
post-mortem in a case where the diagnosis “primary cancer of the liver” had
been given. This liver was permeated with multiple nodules, the largest of
which was as big as a walnut. Many of them in section—his hearers would confirm
this for themselves—gave the typical picture of a cancer; others, again—-and
these were hemorrhagic, with extra-vascular clotting and necrosis—showed the
typical picture of chorio-epithelioma; close to them, again, were other masses
of typical cancer nodules in liver-tissue ; ‘and the cancer-cells, again, in
immediate connection with the Langhans cells of chorio-epithelioma. Therefore,
this liver-cancer was also an epithelioma or chorio-epithelioma—a malignant
epithelioma, which had arisen from an embryonic foundation. He pointed out that
he did not deduce all cancers from a “teratoid” (embryomatic) basis, and that a
parasitic etiology was out of question in the instances dealt with.
