I have no experience in this regard

Hi Janay,

Below are some links to publications with images, descriptions, and/or references that you may find helpful.  Some of these publications have the photomicrograghs of neoplasms and pre-neoplastic lesions at the very end, after the references section.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3660997/pdf/450747.pdf

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4765498/pdf/tox-29-S001.pdf

https://mcardle.oncology.wisc.edu/dove/pdfs/boivin762.pdf

Also, you can always reach out to a pathologist/researcher with extensive mouse pathology experience to help you understand the differences in what characteristics pathologists are specifically looking for when they classify neoplastic lesions.  My colleague, Cindy Besch-Williford, DVM, PhD, DACLAM (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Cynthia_Besch-Williford) is very experienced in rodent neoplasia and among the most helpful; she is my go-to person with tumor questions.

Kind regards,

Marcus

Dear Janay,

the ability to evaluate histopathological images is not something you will pick up on the hoof. I would recommend to ask a local pathologist for help on a collaborative basis.

I'm sure you'll find someone ath the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology

at your University

Best regards
