The types most usually met with arein order of frequency : (1) scirrhus cancer ; (2) epithelioma, which may beprimary in the bronchial tract; (3) sarcoma ; (4) fibroma ; (5) enchondroma ;(6) osteoma (very rare). The lungs may also be involved in Hodgkinsdisease. The primary growth generally forms a large mass, which mayoccupy the greater part of the lung. It may by extension outwards involvethe parietal and visceral pleura. The tumour mass may necrose, and acavity result. The diffuse cancerous growth may resemble a tuberculouspneumonia. The metastatic growths are nearly always disseminated ; theymay vary from a mihary type to quite a large growth, and all variations insize may be met with in the same patient. The symptoms may be slightor marked according to the accessory lesions which accompany the newgro\Ath, such as pleurisy ; this may be dry or accompanied by efiusion. ^^^^HH f 4 ^ i^iH ^ J^l ^■1
