  • Title: Spontaneous uterine neoplasms in the fat sand rat (Psammomys obesus).
    Author: Czernobilsky B, Ungar H, Adler JH.
    Journal: Lab Anim; 1982 Jul; 16(3):285-9. PubMed ID: 7050527.
    Abstract:
    Sacrifice of 69 fat sand rats (Psammomys obesus) bred at the Hebrew University--Hadassah Medical School, yielded 19 cases with spontaneous uterine tumours. These consisted of 5 leiomyomas, 3 endometrial polyps, 10 adenofibromas and one possibly malignant mixed mesodermal tumour. The relatively high incidence of adenofibromas histologically resembling the human neoplasm, could make this animal a useful model for further study of Müllerian mixed tumours.
