Renal Carcinogenesis, Rat

  • Chapter
Urinary System

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

Abstract

Renal tumors in the rat can be classified into three broad categories depending on whether their origin and cellular composition identify with mature epithelium, connective tissue, or primordial embryonic tissue (Table 7). The sole representative of the latter class, nephroblastoma, could be designated also as an epithelial kidney tumor in this species.
