• 3 of 12 mice at 12 weeks and 4 of 9 mice at 22 weeks exhibit small tumor foci with follicular architecture and cytologic features of papillary thyroid carcinoma, with one foci having focal tall-cell features
• however, none of the tumors show extrathryoidal extension, vascular invasion, or progression to poorly differentiated carcinoma
