|
• 19/44 (43%) of heterozygous females developed ovarian tumors between the ages of 13 and 26 months
• histological analysis of these tumors revealed that all were derived from sex-cord stromal cells, mainly granulosa cells, contained large round nuclei; the follicular structure was largely replaced by the tumor mass, and tumor cells expressed high levels of 3beta-HSD, indicating steroidogenesis in the tumor cells
|
• the focal stromal hyperplasia and multinodular tumors were seen and were frequently bilateral, compressed the surrounding seminiferous tubules, resulting in degenerative changes
• testis tumor cells were large and often polygonal, with an abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm and a central round nucleus, and occasionally contained lipid pigment and vacuoles
|
• testes of heterozygous mice contained hyperplastic stromal cells and tumors, both with strong 3beta-HSD expression, a marker for Leydig cells
|
