Excerpt from Report of Professor Delafield's Lectures on the Practice of Medicine Gummy tumors are found in connective tissue, in mucous membranes, and in the viscera. They are com posed of a basement substance, and of small round, oval, and fusiform cells. They possess few or no blood-ves sels, and frequently undergo cheesy degeneration. Their gross appearance is that of irregular tumors of some size, but occasionally they are small and resemble miliary tubercles of small size.
