• by 18 weeks after tamoxifen treatment, numerous adenomas develop in alveoli; small numbers of cells with features of malignant transformation are observed in some lung sections
• tumors are usually found in proximity to the airways, bronchioalveolar duct junctions (BADJs), or surface of the lung, but lesions are not found in the BADJs
• tumor cells are highly proliferative
• airways and BADJs retain normal architecture
