(B) An ulcerated gastric cancer with irregular borders, which are firm, fixed, and often raised (histologically confirmed). Courtesy of the Archive of the Institute of Pathology, Cantonal Hospital Liestal, Switzerland. The macroscopic aspect of the ulcerated gastric cancer is almost identical to the description of Napoleon's gastric lesion made by Dr Antommarchi in his autopsy report.
