Cauliflower cancers and carcinomatous ulcers have the greatest tendency to spread to the vagina, and chiefly attack the surface of the vaginal wall which adjoins the diseased lip. Carcinomata which penetrate the substance of the vaginal portion are more inclined to spread in the submucous tissue of the vagina, and lead to infiltration, which at first is covered with mucous membrane, in the form of a circular infiltration; they advance slowly toward the introitus and are always deepest in the anterior, and highest in the posterior wall. Occasionally metastatic nodules appear underneath the mucous membrane, their favorite seat being the posterior wall of the fold surrounding the urinary meatus. In rare cases so-called contact cancers, i.e., carcinomatous changes in those parts of the vaginal wall which are in contact with the primary cancer, are encountered. Extension to the cervical tissue is most frequently seen in the infiltrating forms. The extension is continuous, Lines of or, in extremely rare instances, discontinuous by leaps, and Extension, goes on to a variable distance, rarely as far as the internal os, and only in extreme cases beyond that point. Occasionally the cervical mucous membrane becomes infected from behind. The body of the uterus is attacked only in the very last stages, and then only by continuous Fig. 179.--Infilthating CarciNoma Of the Vaginal POrtiOn. %. (Specimen from the Kki.
