Figure 3

Metastatic tumors from esophageal carcinoma in the small intestine. (a) Gross finding at surgery. The metastatic tumor obstructed the small intestine. (b) Gross appearance of the resected small intestine. Two metastatic tumors were present. The left specimen showed circumferential stenosis in the jejunum. (c) Histologic finding of the metastatic tumor in the jejunum. HE stains showed moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. (d) High magnification view.
