title: Hermaphroditism in a Sprague-Dawley rat.
abstract: A spontaneous case of unilateral true hermaphroditism was observed during the routine necropsy of a 9-week-old presumed female Sprague-Dawley rat on a repeat-dose toxicity study. There were no drug-related effects observed. True hermaphroditism is rare in rats, and despite the large numbers of rats examined annually, few cases are reported in the literature.
