Microscopic finding of the resected specimen after chemotherapy. No residual adenocarcinoma was found in the original ulcerated adenocarcinoma site on lesser curvature. Instead, it was completely replaced by dense fibrous tissue with partial re-epithelialization of the overlying mucosal surface and fibrosis extending into muscularis propria (hematoxylin and eosin stain, 100×).
