Hard c, scirrhus; a form of carcinoma in which induration is a prominent feature, forming a tumor of a hard feel which creaks under the knife on section and presents a bluish white or grayish white appearance. Its characteristics are those of texture, not of essential structure, being due to an abundance of fibrous tissue in the stroma. [Lat]
