reproductive system
• cysts and squamous epithelial hyperplasia in the oviduct
|
• females exhibit hyperplasia and full squamous differentiation of the uterine endometrial lumen, endometrial hyperplasia, and endometrial hyperplasia with cyst formation
|
• cysts and squamous epithelial hyperplasia in the cervix
|
• squamous metaplasia is seen in the epididymis
• vascularization is increased in the epididymides
|
• tumors contain regions of cystadenoma characterized by adenoid structures identical to human cystadenoma lesions arising in epididymides
• cystadenoma display clear cell morphology
|
neoplasm
• regions of squamous differentiation intermingle with the regions of cystadenoma
• cystadenomas appear to result from basal cell proliferation without differentiation, whereas regions of squamous metaplasia contain abundant basal cells in basal layers as well as cells with markers of epidermal differentiation
|
• all mutants develop benign mixed adenosquamous genital tract tumors (in epididymis, vesicular glands, vas deferens, endometrium, and oviduct) resembling clear cell cystadenomas that form in patients with Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome (VHL)
• tumors arise simultaneously in all genital tract epithelia and show expansion of basal cells
• endometrial hyperplasia with cyst formation resembles cystadenoma and cystic lesions seen in broad ligament of females with VHL
|
• tumors contain regions of cystadenoma characterized by adenoid structures identical to human cystadenoma lesions arising in epididymides
• cystadenoma display clear cell morphology
