Figure

  • Fig. 1 Contrast enhanced computerized tomography of the abdomen, showing a soft tissue mass lesion (arrow) in the left side of the mesentery with adherent small gut loops.

  • Fig. 2 Section from the small intestine showing a dense infiltrate of myeloid precursor cells (Hematoxylene and Eosin stain, 40× magnification).

  • Fig. 3 Biopsy specimen showing a tumor composed of sheets of myeloid precursor cells with moderate cytoplasm, a high nucleocytoplasmic ratio, and occasional prominent nucleoli. A fair number of eosinophils were seen (arrow). (Hematoxylene and Eosin stain, 100× magnification; inset-400×).
