In this form there is a tolerably definite gland-like new-formation, as we have in other cases of cylinder-celled epithelioma (see Fig. 112, p. 263). There are spaces lined • with cylindrical epithelium, but very often this regular arrangement is lost in great part, and, except in the more recently formed parts, we have more irregular masses.

The tumour is a slowly growing one, and it generally involves a considerable portion of the stomach before the death of the patient. The surface is nearly always ulcerated, and may be considerably excavated. There are sometimes papillae on the surface of the tumour, especially at the marginal parts, which give the surface a warty appearance.
