N normal phenotype
neoplasm
• plasmacytomas occurring in lymph nodes, spleen, and very rarely the thymus often completely replace these lymphoid organs and invade the surrounding tissues
• 100% of mice develop spontaneous lymphoid tumors beginning at 5 weeks of age
• tumors are mainly thymic lymphomas or plasma cell neoplasms
• T cell tumors are exclusively lymphoblastic lymphomas
• greater than 80% prevalence of plasma cell tumors
• plasma cell tumors are of three types: tumors composed primary of mature plasma cells characterized by a large cytoplasm and eccentric and sometimes binucleated nuclei with evident nucleoli, tumors with large atypical cells with irregular nuclei and conscious nucleoli, and tumors with atypical, pleomorphic/anaplastic cells
• in 20% of mice, the neoplastic plasma cells occupy the bone marrow spaces and invade into the vertebral bones
• tumors are of B-cell origin and express clonal immunoglobulin

mortality/aging
• mean survival of 17 weeks

behavior/neurological
• mice that have neoplastic plasma cell invasion into vertebral bones and the central nervous system show frequent gross limb paralysis and other postural and behavioral habits

endocrine/exocrine glands
• T cell tumors are exclusively lymphoblastic lymphomas

hematopoietic system
• T cell tumors are exclusively lymphoblastic lymphomas
• serum shows presence of free light chain immunoglobulin

immune system
• T cell tumors are exclusively lymphoblastic lymphomas
• serum shows presence of free light chain immunoglobulin

nervous system
• neoplastic plasma cells that invade into vertebral bones compress and often destroy the spinal ganglia
• neoplastic plasma cells that invade into vertebral bones compress and often destroy the spinal nerves
