Neuroendocrine Hyperplasias and Tumors, Larynx and Trachea, Syrian Hamster

  • Chapter
Respiratory System

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

Abstract

The range of lesions described here was observed in hamsters of the strain Han:AURA from a chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity study involving inhaled particles. Since there was no difference in the frequency of the neuroendocrine proliferations between the exposure and control groups, all lesions were considered to be of spontaneous origin.
