Squamous Differentiation in Mouse Mammae: Spontaneous and Induced

Abstract: DURING the course of a scrutiny of mammae of old breeding females of several inbred strains of mice in which either very few or no spontaneous mammary tumours had arisen, foci were found in one of the strains of apparently spontaneous squamous differentiation. This differentiation took the form of squamous epitheliosis in ducts and in acini. It was frequently, but not invariably, accompanied by scattered or massed secretory acini in mammary glands that elsewhere were completely involuted. The strain affected w… Show more

“…Cornification tests to exclude the possibility that oestrogen was being produced in suprarenals subsequent to ovariectomy were not done because they had been found to be unnecessary in adult mice in this strain on previous occasions. All 10 nipple areas were examined as previously described (Pullinger, 1947). Those containing hyperplastic nodules of any kind were mounted and kept.…”

“…It was not possible to subject all predominantly acinar new formations to serial section. Therefore they were judged to be purely or mainly acinar on the basis of the polarising test used before (Pullinger, 1949), and from experience of a total of 60 nodules derived from various surveys in hand and cut in serial section by the author.…”
