elevated masses are felt, in some instances involving the 'whole thickness of the organ..
These irregular shaped masses have well defined sharp edges separating them from the
adjacent healthy tissue.. Their structure is firm and tough, and on section presents a very
fine reticulated structure resembling a stale sponge cake. Some portions present a mixed
yellowish-red colour, others mottled red and yellow areas 1/6th of an inch in length, which
remind one of the changes observed in the-lungs* of a child which succumbed to an attack of
Acute Lymphadenoma.
The left lung.—The apex, superior and inner border as well as the inferior free edge
of the organ are the seat of emphysematous changes, and the base of the organ is the seat
of the same changes as those described in the right lung.
