International Classification of Rodent Tumors Part 1 5. Integumentary System

This series of fascicles comprising an international classification of rodent tumors provides information and guidelines especially adapted for international use in practical toxicological pathology. This is expressed particularly in the concise easy-to-use format of the narrative in all sections. Included in this classification are tumors and relevant pre-neoplastic lesions of the rat for all organ systems. The goal of this classification is to harmonize and standardize the nomenclature and diagnostic criteria to be used worldwide for regulatory purposes. The complete range of organ systems in the rat will be covered in ten fascicles, of which this volume is the fifth. Each fascicle is divided into different data-sheets, which represent the essential information on particular lesions. Each data-sheet is prepared in a standard layout, always starting on a new page with a header section. The descriptions of the diagnostic features comprise the main histopathological features of the specified lesion, in the form of a concise list. Most data-sheets include at least one typical micrography, selected from among both spontaneous and induced lesions.Mohr, Ulrich is the author of 'International Classification of Rodent Tumors Part 1 5.
