From an adult who died of haematemesis, which is vomiting blood. To the posterior wall is adherent the pancreas at the upper border of which has been preserved the coeliac artery with a portion of its lienal and hepatic branches, the left gastric artery and portions of the portal and lienal veins. A large chronic ulcer occupies 9.5 cm of the smaller curvature and extends equally on the anterior and posterior walls forming when the walls are separated a piriform area 6 cm in its maximum transverse diameter. The margin of the ulcer is raised, smooth and is composed of mucosa and the whole thickness of the muscular coat. The floor of the ulcer is nodular and is formed by the pancreas covered with newly formed fibrous tissue. Towards the apex of the ulcer at the pyloric portion a glass rod indicates an opening into an artery, probably the gastroduodenal. Not far from the apex of the large ulcer is a small triangular ulceration of the mucosa, and the pylorus forms an oval opening into the duodenum.
