Description“Stomal ulcer” after gastro-enterostomy. From a male aged 43 years.
The preparation consisted of the right two-thirds of the stomach, a small portion of duodenum and. the anastomosed loop of jejunum. The anterior wall of the stomach has been removed and the jejunal loop laid open to show both aspects of the anastomosis.
The duodenum immediately beyond the pylorus is scarred and narrowed. The gastric mucosa is congested and to the left of the anastomosis i markedly rugose in contrast to that in the pyloric antrum which is smooth. The anastomatic opening is only about 1 cm. in diameter. There is a chronic ulcer at the lower margin of the anastomosis, best seen from behind. It involves the jejunal mucosa, is about 1 cm. long and about 4 mm. broad and extends up to the junction of jejunal and gastric mucosa. The ulcer is shallow, well defined and the base covered with pale granulation tissue. Induration of the tissue adjacent could be readily felt.
