Abstract
In the rat, adenocarcinomas of the upper respiratory epithelium are found almost exclusively in the nasal cavities, few having been reported in the larynx or trachea. Adenocarcinomas in the anterior nasal cavities arise most frequently from the epithelium lining the naso- and maxilloturbinals and the nasal septum (Fig. 99). Derivation from the epithelium lining the lateral walls is less common. The neoplasms appear as pink to gray sessile, exophytic masses protruding from the turbinals or septum and varying in size from less than a millimeter in diameter to large masses which entirely fill the nasal passage, compress the turbinals, and displace the nasal septum.
