Squamous Cell Papilloma, Skin, Mouse

  • Chapter

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

Abstract

The tumor appears as an outgrowth from the skin surface in the form of a wart, 1–10 mm in diameter. The apical surface of the tumor can be keratinized and has either small protuberances or a cauliflower-shaped, uneven, knobby surface; fusion with adjacent papules is common. Large tumors have a dark-brown to black color due to bleeding or imbibition into the keratinized layers of dark substances (Fig.26). The surrounding skin is even and mobile in relation to the under­lying tissues (Bogovsky 1979).
