Object nameStomach, duodenum, Carcinoma, Morbid Anatomy of the Stomach, Mounted wet tissue
DescriptionPortions of the stomach and duodenum with the pylorus between them showing thickening of the tissues following the growth of a diffuse carcinomatous tumour at the site.
The mucous and submucous coats are considerably thickened and indurated by the spheriodal-celled carcinoma, the extent of which is limited on one side by the pyloric aperture and gradually diminishes on the proximal side. The circular fibres of the muscular wall are hypertrophied in the region of the growth.

TranscriptThe pylorus with the adjoining portion of a stomach and duodenum.
The mucous and submucous coats are considerably thickened and indurated by a diffuse carcinomatous growth which is limited on the distal side by the pyloric aperture, and thins away on the proximal. The circular fibres of the muscular wall are much hypertrophied in the region of the new growth.
Microscopic examination shows the neoplasm to be spheroidal-celled carcinoma. A proper alveolar disposition is for the most part unrecognisable, the epithelial cells lying in narrow discontinuous lines in the thickened submucous connective tissue.
