Histopathological examinations of the specimen. (A) A capsulated cyst near the right mammary gland was filled with dry proteinous material, presumed to be dried-up milk. (B) A uterine mass was assumed to be an endotheliochoral placenta. (C) A nodule in the liver shows highly fibrous surrounding tubular tissue with autolytic reaction. (D) Nodules in the lungs indicate a thick fibrous capsule with a more basophilic structure; elongated, round, or amorphous cysts were assumed to be encapsulated Halocercus sp. parasites. (E) Volcanic ulceration in the forestomach wall. Chronic ulcerative granulomatous gastritis was observed, with thick stratified squamous epithelium. (F) Enlargement of a volcanic ulceration. The stroma infiltrates into the squamous epithelium, resembling squamous papilloma
