Abstract
Teratomas in the mouse are commonly reddish or tan cystic masses which may grow to over 2 cm in diameter. Less common variants are polycystic or solid. White foci of cartilage or bone may be visible on cut surfaces. Some tumors are only found during microscopic examination of grossly normal ovaries.
