Toxicol Pathol. 1998 Sep-Oct;26(5):695-8. doi: 10.1177/019262339802600516.

Abstract

The histological, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopic characteristics of a spontaneous case of atriocaval mesothelioma are described in a 102-wk-old male Sprague-Dawley rat. The immunohistochemical characteristics of the tumor are compared with those of a pericardial mesothelioma in a female Sprague-Dawley rat.
