neoplasm
• mice develop oral tumors 12 weeks after a single injection of tamoxifen at 8 weeks of age; tumors are squamous papillomas
• the outer longitudinal muscular layer is almost completely replaced by lesions with diffuse CD34 staining, indicating gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) and active proliferation of the hyperplastic lesions is seen
• similar lesions are seen in the small intestine and colon mostly in the outer longitudinal muscular layer, although less prominently than in the stomach

behavior/neurological
• mice treated with tamoxifen are unable to eat due to development of oral tumors

cellular
• hyperplastic regions are devoid of smooth muscle actin and partially positive for KIT, resembling interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) hyperplasia in the gastric wall

craniofacial
• mice develop oral tumors 12 weeks after a single injection of tamoxifen at 8 weeks of age; tumors are squamous papillomas

digestive/alimentary system
• hyperplastic regions are devoid of smooth muscle actin and partially positive for KIT, resembling interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) hyperplasia in the gastric wall
• 8-10 weeks after tamoxifen administration, mice show a thickened gastric wall
• squamous hyperplasia of the forestomach in tamoxifen-treated mice
• the outer half of the muscularis propria is replaced by hyperplastic spindle-shaped cells with dysplastic features in tamoxifen-treated mice
• the outer longitudinal muscular layer is almost completely replaced by lesions with diffuse CD34 staining, indicating gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) and active proliferation of the hyperplastic lesions is seen
• similar lesions are seen in the small intestine and colon mostly in the outer longitudinal muscular layer, although less prominently than in the stomach

growth/size/body
• mice develop oral tumors 12 weeks after a single injection of tamoxifen at 8 weeks of age; tumors are squamous papillomas

muscle
• the outer half of the muscularis propria is replaced by hyperplastic spindle-shaped cells with dysplastic features in tamoxifen-treated mice
