Description

mesothelioma of the heart and mediastinal lymph node

Age at Necropsy

854 days

Notes

This is the heart and mediastinal lymph node from a 854 day old female PWD/PhJ mouse. Note the extensive material on surrounding the heart. This is a mixed population of cells, some inflammatory associated with necrosis, others being round cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, the latter of which are found in the lymph node. This is interpreted to be a mesothelioma.
