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

Abstract

Small carcinomas that develop within papillomas may be difficult to distinguish from papillomas, but fully developed carcinomas are not difficult to diagnose. These advanced carcinomas are firm nodules of more than 1 cm in diameter attached to the overlying skin which is often ulcerated over the center of the mass. They often infiltrate the underlying supporting structures, but distant metastases to the regional lymph nodes and lungs are not common. Occasionally these carcinomas consist of flat, solid masses with ulceration and crust formation in the overlying skin; this type infiltrates the underlying tissues.
