 note = {White nodules were observed in the thyroid in two male C3H mice (at 99 and 122 weeks of age) exposed to fast neutrons at the age of 8 weeks. Histopathologically, in both cases, tumors were developed in the region corresponding to the parathyroid gland, and the tumor cells were arranged in a solid sheet or nest-like structures. Necrosis, cell debris and/or hemorrhage were sometimes seen in the center of the tumor structures. Tumor cells were small and uniform with scanty cytoplasm, cell margins were indistinct, and basally located tumor cells were aligned along the vascular stroma. Mitotic figures were frequently observed. Metastasis to the renal cortex was observed in both cases. These cases were diagnosed as parathyroid carcinoma. A parathyroid tumor is an extremely rare endocrine tumor in mice, regardless of whether the tumor is spontaneous or experimentally induced. These cases may have been induced by neutron-exposure; however, how radiation induces parathyroid carcinoma in mice is not clear.},
