A–H, morphological and immunohistochemical features of a spindle cell (A, C, E, G) and an epithelioid (B, D, F, H) gastrointestinal stromal tumor. A, the spindle cells are arranged in storiform and herringbone patterns and have blunt-ended nuclei. B, the epithelioid cells are arranged in organoid clusters and have round nuclei and abundant cytoplasm. Both subtypes express CD34 (C and D), bcl-2 (E and F), and the Kit receptor (G and H). Magnifications, 240times.
