integument
• epidermis shows multiple cavities, filled with lamellated concentric keratin masses
• koilocytosis occurs in some areas
|
parakeratosis
(
J:96784
)
• intracytoplasmic keratohyaline granules are present in the upper layers and in the epithelium surrounding the hair shafts
|
acanthosis
(

)
dyskeratosis
(

)
• 91% of mice develop skin tumors
• tumor growth generally starts in the dorsocaudal region of the trunk, with alopecia and hyperkeratosis, continues to become more hyperkeratotic and spread diffusely or multifocally to the cranial and ventral regions of the body
• males develop tumors earlier than females
|
• papillomas with hyperkeratosis, dyskeratosis, and parakeratosis
• different degrees of dysplasia is seen in the papillomas; mild dysplasia consists of atypia in the basal layer, mild hyperchromatosis and anisonucleosis, moderate dysplasia with atypical cells in the middle layers of the epithelium, and high grade dysplasia with loss of stratification of the epithelium and atypical cells with hyperchromatic and pleomorphic nuclei
|
• 6% of mice develop squamous cell carcinomas
|
