Reproductive tract lesions in male mice exposed prenatally to diethylstilbestrol.
Sixty percent of the male offspring from pregnant mice treated with diethylstilbestrol during gestation were sterile. The affected animals had gonadal changes which included intra-abdominal or fibrotic testes, or both. Additionally, nodular masses in the ampullary region of the reproductive tract were observed in 6 of 24 animals; one of these appeared to be preneoplastic.
