neoplasm
• mice rapidly develop skin tumors beginning 1 month after induction with topical application of RU486 to the back of the skin with 100% penetrance
• tumors that develop after RU486 induction are well-to-moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinomas with an epidermal lineage or basaloid squamous cell carcinomas of unknown stem cell origin
• a subset of benign or locally invasive tumors form adjacent to the squamous cell carcinoma precursor lesions, which are of hair follicle (trichoepitheliomas, basaloid squamous cell carcinoma) or sebaceous gland origin (sebaceous adenomas) after induction with topical application of RU486
• metastases develop between 8 and 18 weeks after induction with RU486, with 28% of tumor-bearing mice developing lung metastasis and 1 of 18 mice showing lymph node metastasis
• a subset of benign or locally invasive tumors form adjacent to the squamous cell carcinoma precursor lesions, which are of hair follicle (trichoepitheliomas, basaloid squamous cell carcinoma) or sebaceous gland origin (sebaceous adenomas) after induction with topical application of RU486
• a few benign papillomas are seen after induction with topical application of RU486
