Serial section reconstruction images of the male ACI rat urogenital sinus shown from a dorso‐cranial view. The image in the lower right illustrates the normal late gestation appearance of the accessory gland development, compared to the Wolffian duct ipsilateral abnormality observed in 25% of the male offspring (upper left).
