As the final result of his review of the literature and of his study of twelve cases, Kroemer reached full agreement with Wilms, who was the first to offer any proof of the ovulogenous development of these tumors. The theory which has ascribed these tumors to inclusion of the ectodermal layer, in the early growth of the embryo, has never been satisfactorily proven. The principal objection to this theory is that ovarian dermoid cysts do not correspond to the type seen in the superficial parts of the body, where dermoids undoubtedly come from the ectoderm, because they contain only those tissues which are found in this layer. Arnsperger1 reaches the same conclusions as Wilms and Kroemer. One
