neoplasm
• tumor cells form Homer Wright rosettes
• 25% of mice develop midbrain tumors
• by 2 weeks of age the pineal gland is replaced by tumor cells that resemble a highly differentiated retinoblastoma in 2 week old mice
• cells are large and atypical with numerous abnormal mitotic figures
• by 8-10 weeks of age tumors cover and invade the cerebral and cerebellar hemispheres
|
• mice develop ocular tumors of photoreceptor cell origin
• beginning at 4 weeks of age, photoreceptor cells are replaced by hyperchromatic cells of small size with scanty cytoplasm
• by 10 weeks of age tumors invade the optic nerve, ciliary body, iris and vitreous
|
vision/eye
exophthalmos
(
J:60231
)
• mice develop exophthalmia by 8 weeks of age
|
• mice exhibit narrowing of the ocular fissures by 3 to 4 weeks of age
• beginning in the inner nuclear layer, neoplastic cells invade the bipolar layer of the retina by 6-8 weeks of age
|
• mice develop ocular tumors of photoreceptor cell origin
• beginning at 4 weeks of age, photoreceptor cells are replaced by hyperchromatic cells of small size with scanty cytoplasm
• by 10 weeks of age tumors invade the optic nerve, ciliary body, iris and vitreous
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• pineal gland is consistently enlarged by 5 to 6 weeks of age
• pineal gland is replaced by tumor cells
|
