Figure 1 The mitotic figures under hematoxylin-eosin staining in a gastrointestinal stromal tumor. (A) Ring-shaped mitotic figure, with deeply stained nuclei. (B) Fragmentary mitotic figure, with disappearance of nuclear membranes. (C) Centipede-like mitotic figure, with obvious irregularities around the nucleus. (D) Butterfly-shaped mitotic figure, with obvious irregularities around the nucleus. (E) Dumbbell-like mitotic figure, with disappearance of nuclear membranes. (F) Hippocampal-shaped mitotic figure, with disappearance of nuclear membranes.
