Summary The early histological changes in bladder urothelium following transurethral cauterization were sequentially studied in female rats, mice, hamsters and guinea pigs. The changes differed markedly between species: papillary hyperplasia or papilloma in the rats and simple hyperplasia in the mice, hamsters and guinea pigs. The regenerative response to the fulgurative ulcer within a given species was similar to the early response previously observed by others following administration of known bladder carcinogens. This suggests that there may be a regulatory mechanism in the urothelium which is common to urothelial proliferations induced by both carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic stimulations, though differing between animal species.
