The two forms of adenia may perhaps pass one into the other, and they also correspond mutually in the fact that in both the process need not remain restricted to isolated lymphatic glands, but advances from one to the other, and that, moreover, analogous growths may also occur in the spleen, the lymphoid follicles and adenoid tissue of the digestive tract, and even in organs which normally contain no adenoid tissue.
