Gastric Cancer
A. Benign gastric ulcer.
B. Malignant gastric ulcer.
Note: the benign and malignant ulcers on slides A & B are remarkably similar, both showing small,
circumscribed ulcers with radiating folds and no mass lesions. These are so-called "benign" features
that prove the important point that gross features are not diagnostic in gastric ulcers. Biopsy with
histologic examination is mandatory.

C. Leather bottle stomach of linitis plastica-type gastric adenocarcinoma.
D. Gross cross section of linitis plastica gastric adenocarcinoma showing wall thickening and diffuse
gross infiltration by tumor into all layers of the gastric wall, including the mucosa, submucosa,
muscularis propria (white streaks) and subserosa.

E. Mass lesion/polypoid and ulcerated gastric adenocarcinoma, seen in this en face mucosal or
surface view.
F. Gross cross section of the mass lesion/polypoid and ulcerated gastric adenocarcinoma seen in
slide E above. Note the transmural invasion of the tumor--important for staging.
