Spontaneous nasal tumors are rare in mice, and only one adenocarcinoma and two more primary neoplasms of the nose have been observed in our files of long-term feeding studies, which are composed of 3,419 male and 3,521 female CD-1 (Crl:CD-1 (ICR)BR) mice. This adenocarcinoma was a 1-cm-diameter mass observed grossly in the right nasal cavity of a 454-day-old, male CD-1 mouse from a treated group in a bioassay study conducted with 340 males and 340 females. The neoplastic epithelial cells affected the normal nasal architecture on the right side of the nose. Roughly, tumor neoplastic cells of the outer, lateral portion occurred as cuboidal to low columnar cells with basilarily located nuclei and eosinophilic cytoplasm. These cells were arranged in cylindrical profiles and frequently entrapped acini of the glands of the maxillary sinus. Neoplastic epithelial cells of the inner, medial portion appeared as serous acinar or ductular structures circumscribed by multiple lagers of myoepithelial-like cells. Staining failed to demonstrate mucous secretion. The site of origin of this neoplasm appeared to be the serous glands of the maxillary sinus. The adenocarcinoma was believed to be spontaneous.
