title: Spontaneous uterine granular cell tumour in a Fischer 344 rat.
abstract: The microscopic features of a spontaneous uterine granular cell tumour in a Fischer 344 rat are described. The location of the tumour is novel for the rat. The neoplasm is characterized by the presence of cells with cytoplasmic granules which were PAS positive and diastase resistant. Electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry results are presented and the origin of the tumour is discussed.
