Figures

None
FIG. 1. Case 1: (A) Meckel's diverticulum and (B) the resected tumour.
None
FIG. 2. Case 3: (A) Barium swallow shows a large collection of fluid within the ulcer cavity. (B) Abdominal computed tomography shows an impressive “collar button” lesion (arrow) arising from the stomach. (C) Gross section of the tumour shows a necrotic ulcer.
None
FIG. 3. Case 5: (A) Histology reveals the epithelioid morphology seen in 30% of gastrointestinal stromal tumours. More commonly, the cells take on more of a spindle cell appearance (hematoxylin–phloxine–saffron stain, original magnification × 200). (B) This specimen stained strongly for CD117 (polyclonal rabbit anti-human antibody, DakoCytomation, original magnification × 200). The concentration of stain in the cell membrane occurs because the c-kit protein is a transmembrane receptor.
