Abstract

Report on post-mortem examination.-Secondary involvement of kidneys, liver and lung. Death was also due to basal meningitis caused by direct spread of disease through base of skull. Difficulties in histological diagnosis. Apparently malignant disease, but not carcinoma and not sarcoma. Prevailing type of cell appears to be primitive. Collateral types of disease exist. Cases have been recorded bearing close resemblance to this form of disease.
