Part of the book series: Monographs on Pathology of Laboratory Animals ((LABORATORY))

Abstract

Melanocytic tumors are recognized as black or blue-black pigmented spots or soft elevated nodules usually measuring up to 5 mm in diameter and, in a small number of case, reaching 1 cm in size. On cut section, the tumors are well demarcated and usually heavily pigmented.
