Preferred Label : Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Mouse Pulmonary System;
Alternative definition : MMHCC: This is a composite group consisting of tumors, in which neuroendocrine differentiation
has been confirmed by immunohistochemical detection of such proteins as synaptophysin,
CGRP and chromogranin. These tumors have only recently been described in mice. Their
morphology varies from typical acinar pattern formation to more palisade-like structures
to poorly differentiated neoplasms consisting of small hyperchromatic cells with minimal
cytoplasm. Their relevance to human small cell carcinomas and other neuroendocrine
carcinomas remains to be determined.;
