Abstract
The anatomic location and histological appearance of spinal cord epidermoid cysts in a variety of inbred mouse strains was examined. A variable incidence of cysts was found in mice of the C57BR/cdJ, C57BL/6J, B10.BR/SgSnJ, C58/J, AKR/J, C57L/J, and RF/J strains. Cysts were largely found in the leptomeninges, adjacent to the posterior horn and the lateral or anterior columns. The cysts consisted of a central whorled mass of keratinized cells surrounded by polygonal epithelial cells; some of these cells contained keratohyaline granules. Basal cells were absent. The presence of cysts did not correlate with the H-2k or H-2b haplotypes of the mouse.This publication has 24 references indexed in Scilit:
