Cyst size and cellular metaplasia increased with age in both BR (A-C) and IO (D-F) mice. A. Intraovarian cyst (c) in an ovary from a 6-month BR mouse. Serial sectioning of this ovary showed this cyst originated in the hilus of the ovary. Dilated rete ovarii tubules (RO) are present in the extra-ovarian fat. B. Ovary from a 9-month BR mouse, containing an intraovarian cortical cyst with many papillae (right) and a hilar cyst (lower left). C. Ovary from a 12-month BR mouse containing a large, collapsed hilar cyst, from which cyst fluid has been aspirated. D. Cyst in the medulla of a 6-month IO mouse, which was shown to be connected to the hilus of the ovary on serial sectioning. E. Collapsed cyst of unknown origin in the ovary of a 9-month IO mouse. The original diameter of this ovary was 11 mm before aspiration of 950 Ī¼l of cyst fluid. F. Hilar cyst with extensive papillae formation in an ovary from a 12-month IO mouse.
