RESUMO
The INHAND (International Harmonization of Nomenclature and Diagnostic Criteria for Lesions) Project (www.toxpath.org/inhand.asp) is a joint initiative of the societies of toxicologic Pathology from Europe (ESTP), Great Britain (BSTP), Japan (JSTP), and North America (STP) to develop an internationally accepted nomenclature for proliferative and nonproliferative lesions in laboratory animals. The purpose of this publication is to provide a standardized nomenclature for classifying lesions observed in most tissues and organs from the dog used in nonclinical safety studies. Some of the lesions are illustrated by color photomicrographs. The standardized nomenclature presented in this document is also available electronically on the internet (http://www.goreni.org/). Sources of material included histopathology databases from government, academia, and industrial laboratories throughout the world. Content includes spontaneous lesions, lesions induced by exposure to test materials, and relevant infectious and parasitic lesions. A widely accepted and utilized international harmonization of nomenclature for lesions in laboratory animals will provide a common language among regulatory and scientific research organizations in different countries and increase and enrich international exchanges of information among toxicologists and pathologists.

RESUMO
The authors performed a retrospective study to determine the incidences of spontaneous findings in the adrenal glands of control CD-1 mice. Data were collected from 2,163 mice from control dose groups in 104-week carcinogenicity studies carried out between 2000 and 2010. Adrenal gland nonproliferative lesions were more common in males than in females. In males, the most common nonproliferative lesions were cortical hypertrophy, cortical atrophy, pigment deposition/pigmentation, cysts, and extramedullary hematopoiesis. In females, the most common nonproliferative lesions were pigment deposition/pigmentation, extramedullary hematopoiesis, and cortical atrophy. Proliferative lesions were more common in females than in males. In both sexes, the most common proliferative lesions were subcapsular cell hyperplasia, focal cortical hyperplasia, and subcapsular cell tumor. Pheochromocytomas were uncommon in both sexes, with a slightly higher incidence in females, and the benign type was more frequent than the malignant type. Lymphoma was the most common metastatic tumor in both males and females, followed by histiocytic sarcoma and erythroid/myeloid leukemia. To the best knowledge of the authors, there are no recent reports on spontaneous pathological findings in the adrenal glands of CD-1 mice, and these results will facilitate the interpretation of background findings in carcinogenicity studies.

The authors performed a retrospective study to determine the incidences and range of spontaneous lesions in the bone marrow (sternum and femur) of control mice and rats. Data was collected from 2186 mice (Crl:CD-1(ICR)BR), and 2347 rats (Han Wistar and CD(SD) rats) from the control dose groups of 104-week carcinogenicity studies carried out between 2005 and 2014. The incidence of spontaneous lesions in the bone marrow was higher in mice than in rats, and in both species non-neoplastic lesions were more common than neoplastic lesions. In mice, the most common non-neoplastic lesions in the bone marrow were increased cellularity, pigmented macrophages, and decreased cellularity, and the most common neoplastic lesions were malignant lymphoma, granulocytic leukemia and histiocytic sarcoma. There were occasional sex and site differences (sternum marrow vs femur marrow) in the incidence of a few bone marrow lesions in mice. In rats, the most common non-neoplastic lesions were increased cellularity and stromal fibrosis, and the most common neoplastic lesion was malignant lymphoma. In rats, no sex predilection in the incidence of bone marrow lesions was apparent, and there were no significant site differences in the incidence of lesions. To the best knowledge of the authors, there are no recent reports on spontaneous pathological findings in bone marrow of rodents, and we believe that these results will facilitate the interpretation of background findings and/or their increased incidence in carcinogenicity studies.
