neoplasm
• following OHT treatment melanomas are detected in 33% of mice (11 of 33, with 7 pigmented and 4 nonpigmented)
• tumors are often multiple and appear on hairy skin
• average pigmented tumor latency is 73 days and mice survive for an average period of 161 days from time of first lesion observation until death
• tumors display the pathologic features of cutaneous spindle-cell melanoma and consist of spindle-shaped melanoma cells and numerous large macrophages loaded with melanin
• tumors are locally invasive with tumor cells found in the lymph nodes
