Ninety-three tumors of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) were produced in 30 male Fischer (CDF) rats following intravenous injection of 10 mg/kg of N-methyl N-nitrosourea (MNU) twice weekly for 9 weeks. The high susceptibility of CDF rats to an optimal dose of MNU provides a useful experimental model to study induction and pathogenesis of tumors of the PNS. In this model PNS tumors occur in a high percentage of animals, multiple PNS tumors are common, the sites of development are predictable, and the well-differentiated morphology is similar to the morphology of naturally occurring neurinomas of man and animals.
