y stripedmusculature and cartilage are found. The wall sarcomata of the uterus develop, as a rule, through sarco-matous degeneration of myoma already present, only in rarer cases aprimary wall sarcoma without myoma formation takes place. A great number of statistics of different authors have shown that 3to 4 per cent, of all myomata undergo sarcomatous degeneration. Themalignant formation always starts from the connective tissue of thetumors (see Fig. 136). The sarcomatous degeneration is usually as-sociated with a considerable and rapid increase in the size of the tumors 304 DISEASES OF WOMEN and in the further course all possible forms of regressive metamorphosis,,necrosis, and hemorrhagic infiltration occur. If submucous or polypousmyomata undergo sarcomatous degeneration, they may entirely putrefyby the action of pathogenic micro-organisms. A fundamental difference between wall sarcomata of the cervix andof the corpus does not exist; they behave like myomata of these parts. JO. IT

The metastasis of all uterine sarcomata takes place usually byway of the bloodvessels. It often occurs early and leads in a short timeto the death of the patient, as a number of different organs are invadedat the same time. The occurrence of sarcoma of the uterus falls chiefly in the fifth andsixth decades of life (Gessner), but it is by no means confined to them as PATHOLOGY OF THE VAGINA AND UTERUS 305 cases are known in which uterine sarcoma has developed in children longbefore the age of puberty.
