Grossly, a 2.0 cm tan-pink smooth round submucosal polyploid mass protruding into the lumen was identified (Figure 1A). Microscopically, the tumor appeared hypocellular and composed of scant spindle cells embedded in a dense, hyalinized and calcified, collagenous stroma (Figure 1B, and Figure 2).
A - Medium power photomicrograph showing the tumor in relation to overlying normal mucosa (A- H&E 10x); High power photomicrograph showing scant spindle cells embedded in a dense, hyalinized and calcified, collagenous stroma (B- H&E 20x).
