Representative photomicrographs taken from three patients with poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus. Patient (A) demonstrates minimal/no inflammatory cell reaction. Patient (B) has a patchy chronic inflammatory cell infiltrate. Patient (C) shows a diffuse chronic inflammatory cellular infiltrate present throughout the tumour. Sections of tumour tissue were fixed with formalin and stained with haematoxylin and eosin (magnification × 100).
