Abstract
The present work describes a rare case of a spontaneous high-grade carcinoma in a seven-week-old Sprague-Dawley female rat that had been included in the control group of an assay of mammary carcinogenesis. The mass was detected at 50days of age, it grown quickly and the animal was humanely sacrificed eight days later. The tumor was located in the left cervical region, in the vicinity of the left submandibular and sublingual glands. It was soft and reddish and had several dens with a bloody content. The tumor was PAS negative and exhibited immunostaining for ER-α. The histopathologic and immunohistochemical data are suggestive of a high-grade carcinoma from mammary gland. It was the first report of a spontaneous mammary tumor in such a young rat.

Cessation. The international multidisciplinary journal is devoted to the publication of studies covering the whole range of experimental research on disease processes and toxicology including cell biological investigations. Its aim is to support progress in the interdisciplinary cooperation of researchers working in pathobiology, toxicology, and cell biology independent of the methods applied. During the past decades increasing attention has been paid to the importance of toxic influence in the pathogenesis of human and animal diseases. This is why Experimental and Toxicologic Pathology meets the urgent need for an interdisciplinary journal felt by a wide variety of experts in medicine and biology, including pathologists, toxicologists, biologists, physicians, veterinary surgeons, pharmacists, and pharmacologists working in academic, industrial or clinical institutions.
