Abstract

The pathological histories of two types of familial mammary cancer in the rabbit have been described. One type was distinguished by characteristic antecedent mammary changes similar to those found in Schimmelbusch's disease in women and by a distinctive papillary structure. The second type originated in normal breast tissue and was characterized histologically by an atypical proliferation of acini.
