Description

harderian gland adenoma

Age at Necropsy

786 days

Notes

This is the harderian gland from a 786 day old female CBA/J mouse. Some normal harderian gland is located in the corner near the eye but the majority of the gland is enlarged due to formation of a benign neoplasm. This will expand and cause the eye to bulge out and the cornea will eventually become damaged.
