Necropsy and histopathology were performed over an 18-month period on 173 NIH type II athymic (nude) mice and 53 NIH type II mice heterozygous at the nu locus. A total of 149 mice were used in studies of tumor transplantation while 77 mice were screened as part of the quality assurance program for the colony. Twenty-nine neoplasms were found in 173 nu/nu mice. Only one neoplasm, an ovarian granulosa cell tumor, was found in 53 nu/+mice. In nu/nu mice, there were nineteen lymphosarcomas, nine ovarian granulosa cell tumors, and one transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder. A greater number of lymphosarcomas occurred in mice greater than 6 months old. A greater number of tumors, particularly lymphosarcomas, were found in nu/nu mice than in nu/+ mice.
