Adenocarcinoma, Endometrium, Rat

  • Chapter
Genital System

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

Abstract

These neoplasms are discrete masses that cause thickening of the uterine wall and project into the lumen of the uterus. Incision may reveal cystic structures filled with clear or discolored brown fluid and/or areas of necrosis. Adenocarcinomas of the endometrium often involve the entire thickness of the uterine wall (Fig. 97), forming polypoid projections into the lumen of the uterus and extending through the muscularis to the serosa and even beyond. Adhesions to adjacent structures may occur if the tumors involve the entire thickness of the uterine wall and the serosa.
