A segment of jejunum. Externally there is an area of constriction but without change in the overlying serosa.

The appearances are those of a typical malignant ulcer. Where the edges of the lesion have been sectioned the tissue is homegenous and fleshy situated chiefly in the submucosa and without serosal involvement. There is a degre of infiltration and destruction of the muscularis.
