Extended abstract: An external vertex is one of degree one; others are internal vertices. A counterpart of the Gallai-Edmonds structure theorem is proved for matchings that are not required to cover the external vertices of graphs. The appropriate counterpart of Tutte's theorem is derived from this result for the existence of perfect internal matchings in graphs.
