neoplasm
• mammary tumors show less vascularization, especially in periphery compared to double conditional null mice
|
• mice show longer tumor latency periods (495 days) compared to double conditional knockouts (214 days)
• shift towards invasive from expansive carcinoma is observed with tumors classified as invasive lobulocarcinoma (ILC) developing multifocally in several mammary glands
• carcinosarcomas (having elements of carcinoma and sarcoma) develop, having spindle shaped cell morphology with large cells with pleomormphic nuclei; these display both expansive and invasive growth
• massive central necrosis is observed
|
• mice show longer tumor latency periods (495 days) compared to double conditional knockouts (214 days)
• often show phenotypic change from expansive to invasive growth
• tumors may invade subcutaneous fat or carnous muscle in irregular strands and nest with polymorphic cell with dyskeratosis
|
• in females presenting carcinomas ~1 cm in diameter, majority of tumors show extensive local invasion with ~50% demonstrating metastasis to draining and distant lymph nodes
• minority of animals show dissociated or loosely clustered lobulocarcinoma (ILC) cells in lungs, liver, gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts, and pancreas, or diffusely throughout peritoneal cavity
