• mucosal hypertrophy
|
• increase in small intestinal mass but no increase in length
|
• crypt proliferation frequently extends downward toward the bottom of the crypts
• increase in apoptosis coincident with the increase in proliferation
|
• decrease in the number of Paneth cells
|
• the majority of mice develop adenomas or adenocarcinomas at 12-17 months of age

• lesions are typically polyp-shaped or flat
• adenomas and adenocarcinomas are seen in the small intestine only
