Type-B mammary tumor virus particles were detected by electron microscopy in the submaxillary glands of 6 of 27 freshly trapped, pregnant wild mice (Mus musculus). Type-B particles were also detected in 3 9f 24 seminal vesicles and 2 pulmonary adenomas from wild mice. Intracytoplasmic type-A virus particles were found in 7 spontaneous nonmammary tumors (lymphoma, hepatoma, lung adenoma) of aging wild mice. Type-C virus particles were also detected in many of these tissues.

Sialic acid content in breast or tumor tissue and serum of mouse strains that are either susceptible or resistant to breast cancer was measured at various age periods. Sialic acid content was also studied in normal lung tissue and in lung adenoma and hepatoma. Sialic acid levels during nonmalignant growth of a tissue were measured in breast tissue during pregnancy and lactation, and in regenerating liver, as well as in newborn and postnatal liver. The sialic acid content, when expressed per mg of protein, increased in mammary tumor, lung adenoma, and hepatoma. It also increased in nonmalignant growth of breast tissue during pregnancy and lactation and of regenerating liver and postnatal liver. Increase in sialic acid per mg DNA was observed only in lung tumors, regenerating liver, and postnatal liver. It appears that the changes in sialic acid level are independent of the normal or malignant growth of a tissue and that these changes might be the function of the parameter used to express the sialic acid values, i.e., either the DNA content or protein content of a given tissue.

Three rats of six males, surviving 22 to 27.5 months after one or two intragastric doses of the monoester pyrrolizidine alkaloid, heliotrine (230 mg/kg body weight), and pretreatment with nicotinamide (350 mg/kg body weight) by pretreatment with nicotinamide (350 mg/kg body weight) by i.p. injections, developed pancreatic islet-cell tumors, accompanied in one of the rats by transitory cell papillomas of the urinary bladder and interstitial testicular tumors and in another by a hepatoma. The lesions in the livers showed progression from megalocytosis, to microscopic hepatocellular hyperplasia, to increasingly larger nodules and hepatoma. One rat, given heliotrine, but no nicotinamide, also developed adenoma of the pancreatic islet cells. Adenomas of the pituitary were present among the experimental and also among the control rats killed between 19 and 27.5 months after the beginning of the experiment, and they are not likely to have been caused by the alkaloid. Heliotrine, in which the crucial double bond in the pyrrolizidine moiety is sterically hindered, appears to be less readily sequestered by the liver and also to affect other organs. Alkylation of nicotinamide at the N-1 position prevents its being reused for coenzyme biosynthesis. Hence, pretreatment of rats with large doses of nicotinamide prevents the depletion of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide coenzymes and liver necrosis in rats given heliotrine (230 mg/kg body weight).

Clones of epithelial-like cells were established from urethan-induced mouse lung adenoma. Electron microscopy of one clone showed that the cells contained lamellar inclusion bodies similar in appearance to those seen in the adenoma precursor, the type II alveolar pneumocyte. The clones exhibited characteristics associated with both "transformed" and "normal" cells in culture; i.e., although aneuploid, the cells grew at a slower rate than most transformed cells, did not form colonies in soft agar and, after prolonged subculture, were not tumorigenic when transplanted s.c. into appropriate hosts. Hydrocortisone treatment of the cloned cells led to growth stimulation and the eventual acquisition of neoplastic potential. Epithelial tumors were produced more readily in athymic, nude mice than in antilymphocyte serum-treated A/He mice. The cells are producing a C-type RNA virus into the culture medium.

Three hundred CD-1 HaM/ICR mice were observed for 2 years, and useful necropsies were done on 99 males and 102 females. Mortality was 50% at 16 months in the males and 18 months in the females. Among mice that came to autopsy, total tumor incidence was 54% for males and 75% for females, with most neoplasms occurring after 18 months. Adenomas or adenocarcinomas of the lung were the most frequent, followed by lymphoreticular tumors, vascular tumors, hepatomas, subcutaneous fibrosarcomas, and adenocarcinomas of the mammary glands. Some degree of amyloidosis was seen in half the mice of both sexes, beginning at 8 months in males and 12 months in females. Variability in tumor incidence among small groups if mice emphasized the need for adequate samples.

Hypercalcemia is very uncommon in small cell (oat cell) carcinoma of the lung. Two cases of this neoplasm associated with symptomatic hypercalcemia are described. Despite normal skeletal roentgenograms, metastatic bone disease was demonstrated by abnormal bone scans and bone biopsies in both patients. The combination of conventional antihypercalcemia therapy, cytotoxic cancer chemotherapy, and synthetic salmon calcitonin corrected the hypercalcemia despite progression of the small cell carcinoma. One patient with elevated serum immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (PTH) had a parathyroid adenoma at autopsy. This association emphasizes that in cases of bronchogenic small cell carcinoma with hypercalcemia, conincidental primary hyperparathyroidism should be considered.

Virus-like particles were observed in the giant cells of a mammary adenoma of a snow leopard kept in captivity. Particles that measured 115 to 125 nm in diameter budded from the lamella of endoplasmic reticulum and were studded on their inner surfaces with dense granules (approximately 12 nm) that gave them their unique ultrastructural morphology. Such particles were not observed extracellularly. Type B or type C particles were not seen in the tumor tissue.

A case of hidradenoma of the external auditory meatus ('ceruminoma') is presented, with a review of the literature. The tumour has the appearances of a pleomorphic adenoma and is devoid of a capsule. It is suggested that the term hidradenoma be used for tumours of the ceruminous glands and that they be classified histologically as (1) adenoma, (2) pleomorphic adenoma, (3) adenoid cystic carcinoma and (4) adenocarcinoma. This classification aids treatment and prognosis. Attention is drawn to the high incidence of malignancy in hidradenomata of the external auditory meatus. The treatment of choice for pleomorphic adenomata is wide surgical excision with an adequate margin of normal skin. If there is doubt regarding complete removal, or a recurrence develops, a wider surgical excision is necessitated.

Histology and ultrastructure of a sebaceous adenoma of the mouse -- derived from i.p.-injection of 0.1 ml DNA, isolated from cells of a transplantable mouse-leukemia -- were studied. The original tumour and all transplanted tumours display the same tissular differentiation. In all tumours virus particles were found. Structure and behaviour of the intracytoplasmic A-particles resemble those of the mouse mammary tumour virus while the C-particles found extracellular were identical with the leukemia viruses of the mouse. It might be suspected that mammary tumour virus and leukemia viruses are either non specific or that a new virus is present in the sebaceous adenoma.

A chromophobic pituitary adenoma induced on BD IX-rats has been grafted on animals of the same strain. The transplanted tumour takes in 90-100%; it grows at a slow rate (in 7 months after grafting a weight of 7-20 g is attained). Tumour-bearing animals display gigantism and hypertrophy of adrenals; moreover, in 33% of cases, diabetes is observed. With non-diabetic animals, splenomegaly and marked leukocytosis are observed; immature white and red cells are present in the peripheral blood. Spontaneous regression of the tumour never occurs. After surgical removal, tumour regrowth and the formation of metastases are observed. Diabetes is characterised by pronounced hyperglycaemia, glucosuria, polyphagia and polydipsia. Histochemically, insulin cannot be detected in pancreas. Splenomegaly is never observed in diabetic animals. Transplanted adenoma frequently tends to stop growing. No recurrence is observable after extirpation. Spontaneous regression of the tumour sometimes occurs. Gigantism, hypertrophy of adrenals and diabetes are considered as consequences of growth hormone- and ACTH-secretion of the transplanted adenoma. At present the tumour is running in the 8th passage. It did not change its characteristics over a period of 5 years.
