Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Gross pathological findings:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
extensive skin damage
Histopathological findings: neoplastic:
effects observed, treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
one squamous cell carcinoma observed
Details on results:
one squamous cell carcinoma observed. The result is attributed by authors to trace concentrations of vinylcyclohexene hydroperoxide (caused by autooxidation of 4-vinylcyclohexene); no carcinogenic effects if oxygen-free material was applied 3 times per week for life to 30 male Swiss mice)
