  Fig. 1. Representative image of hematoxylin and eosin staining of a specimen from subtotal gastrectomy (A, B). In a radical orchiectomy specimen, an infiltrating whitish mass shows involvement of the testis (C). Histologically, this tumor is composed of an atypical glandular structure (D) that is frequently found in lymphovascular spaces (E), compatible with metastatic adenocarcinoma.
