Fig. 3B. 72-year-old man with small cell carcinoma of stomach and
duodenum. Contrast-enhanced CT scan shows poorly enhanced mass
(arrows) encircling duodenum with moderately enhanced internal
septalike structures. Duodenal lumen is narrowed by mass.

Fig. 3C. 72-year-old man with small cell carcinoma of stomach and
duodenum. Photomicrograph of histopathologic specimen shows hyperchromatic
viable tumor cells (T) in background of necrosis (n). Fibrovascular septa
(arrows) in tumor are possibly responsible for CT finding of
moderately enhancing septalike structure in poorly enhanced mass. (H and E,
x40)
