dermal cyst
(
J:112093
)
• keratin cyst formation is observed
|
• generalized growth retardation is observed compared to controls
|
neoplasm
• mice develop spontaneous cutaneous SCC lesions, as well as dysplastic precursor lesions
|
limbs/digits/tail
• with aging, hyperkeratinization of tail is seen
|
integument
• aberrant hair follicle cycling occurs
|
• starting at 2-3 weeks, mice display hair and whisker loss; diffuse alopecia is observed
• at 10 months of age, alopecia has progressed almost to completion
|
• hypoplastic dermis with increased cellularity is observed
• by 6 months of age, most mice develop hyperkeratotic cutaneous nodules, with all mutants exhibiting multiple lesions by 10 months of age
• examination of some nodules reveals papillomas or inflamed infundibular cyts

dermal cyst
(
J:112093
)
• keratin cyst formation is observed
|
• cutaneous nodules show hyperproliferative keratinocytic lesions exhibiting cellular atypia and an invasive growth pattern
