Excerpt from The Statistics of Malignant Deciduoma If we were to attempt a definition of this recently recognized neo plasm, we should say it is an exceedingly malignant growth from the pregnant or recently pregnant uterus, composed largely of prolifer ating decidual or placental tissue. Of rapid growth and development, manifesting a marked tendency to the formation of metastatic deposits throughout the tissues and organs of the body.
