It is more frequent in the negro and in those who are, or have been, the subjects of tuberculous disease.
Innocent tumours, such as the fibroma, lipoma, angioma, and neuro-fibroma, are rare. Malignant tumours may be primary in the muscle, or may result from extension from adjacent growths for example, implication of the pectoral muscle in cancer of the breast or they may be derived from tumours situated elsewhere.
Throughout both breasts were to be felt hardened movable masses, the size of oranges. Microscopic examination showed the growth to be a diffused intracanalicular fibroma. A peculiar case was presented before the Faculty at Montpellier. The patient was a young girl of fifteen and a half years.
