neoplasm
• early carcinoma lesions are seen in the prostate at 6 months of age
• at 6 months of age, high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia/early carcinoma lesions are seen in 36% of prostates, and by 12 months, all mice show lesions
• multifocal lesions in the prostate are comprised of poorly differentiated cells with prominent and multiple nucleoli, an increased nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio, and frequent mitotic figures
• lesions usually fill the affected prostatic ducts and are highly vascularized, show an increase in cytokeratins, an absence of basal epithelium, and a high proliferative index
• lesions show absence of Nkx3-1 protein expression, although mRNA is present and allelic loss of Pten
