Abstract
The most common spontaneously occurring neoplasms in rats are mammary gland tumors, with fibroadenomas having the highest incidence. The incidence of mammary tumors in rats reportedly increases with age and is common in aging rats. Harkness and Wagner reported that spontaneous mammary tumors in rats have an incidence of up to 87% in female rats over two years old.
