Figure

  • Fig. 1 Abdominal computed tomography findings. 6.7×6.2 cm sized mass with cavitary lesion is visible in the left upper quadrant.

  • Fig. 2 Macroscopic finding. 8×6 cm sized mass involved the wall of jejunum and the mucosa showed a deep ulceration.

  • Fig. 3 Microscopic findings. (A) Haematoxylin & eosin stain (×400) shows more than 5 atypical mitoses with spindle cell arrangement. (B) Immunohistochemical stain for c-kit (×400) shows nuclear and cytoplasmic positivity in interstitial cells.
