(a) Gross examination: cut section of gastric mass revealed a 2.5 × 4.5 × 6.5 cm, irregular, ulcerated, necrotic, and hemorrhagic mass involving the gastric fundus and extending into cardia and lower gastroesophageal junction. (b) Histopathological examination: showing intact epithelial mucosa and presence of sheets of small round blue cells separated by minimal desmoplastic fibrous stroma.
