[Cerebral granular cell tumor in the rat after intraperitoneal application of aflatoxin b1 during pregnancy (author's transl)].

On a rat, which has spontaneous died 12 months after 4 times i.p. application of aflatoxin during pregnancy, there has been found a frontal tumor barely of the size of a pepper-corn which came out from the leptomeninx. A comparison to the Abrikossoff tumor concerning the light- and electron-microscope as well as the nucleic-acid concentration is justified. The protein content of the granula of the tumor cells is higher than the values known in the granular-cell myoblastoma of man.
