In a few sections the tapeworm could be traced through the mucosa to the nodule in the muscular tissue in which its head appeared. In the earlier stage of the nodular development there is a cell Infiltration about the head of the worm. This process continues until the infiltrated tissue reaches a considerable size. The worms attached...
Page 354 - The larger nodules were of a pale or dark-yellowish color, while the smaller ones varied in shade from the more highly colored areas to the neutral gray of the normal serosa.
