Alveolar Type II Cell Adenoma, Lung, Mouse

  • Chapter
Respiratory System

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

Abstract

Alveolar adenomas are pearly white, well demarcated spherical tumors, visible beneath the pleural surface or protruding from it. The majority measure 2–4 mm in diameter but some reach 1.0 cm. They are typically firm to rubbery, solid, and homogeneous.
