Cystic ovaries were found at necropsy in 54 of 71 (76%) female guinea pigs between 18 and 60 months of age. Histologic appearance and location of the cysts within the ovary were consistent with cystic rete ovarii. Microscopic appearance of the large ovarian cysts suggested reproductive performance in these guinea pigs should be compromised. Breeding records indicated that fertility was markedly reduced in affected females over fifteen months of age. Cystic endometrial hyperplasia, mucometra, endometritis in appropriate placental tissue, or fibroleiomyomas were seen in 21 of 54 (39%) guinea pigs with cystic ovaries, but in only one of 17 (6%) guinea pigs without cystic ovaries.
在尸检中，71只18至60月龄的雌性豚鼠中有54只（76%）发现有卵巢囊肿。囊肿在卵巢内的组织学表现和位置与卵巢网囊肿一致。大型卵巢囊肿的微观表现表明这些豚鼠的生殖性能可能受到损害。繁殖记录显示，15月龄以上的受影响雌性豚鼠的生育能力明显下降。在54只患有卵巢囊肿的豚鼠中，有21只（39%）出现了囊性子宫内膜增生、子宫积黏液、适当胎盘组织的子宫内膜炎或纤维平滑肌瘤，但在17只没有卵巢囊肿的豚鼠中只有1只（6%）出现了上述情况。
