INTRACANALICULAR PAPILLIFEROUS FIBROMA OF MAMMA OF COW.

By A. M. TROTTER, M.R.e.V.s., Glasgow.

DURING the autumn of 1907 an aged Highland cow in good condition was brought to one of the city abattoirs for slaughter, and the post-mortem examination revealed the following points of interest.

In the right suprarenal gland was an adrenal tumour, which presented the usual characters of similar growths in this position, and the gland itself had attained the size of a turkey egg.

One of the lymphatic glands, situated at the portal fissure, showed in its substance a sharply defined, rounded mass the size of a walnut, yellowish in colour and fibrous in structure, but whose exact character was, unfortunately, not determined by microscopical examination.

In the posterior quarters of the udder, involving the tissues surrounding the galactopherous sinuses, was a hard mass the size and shape of a cocoanut, with margin well defined and surface somewhat
