Am J Surg Pathol. 1985 May;9(5):374-9. doi: 10.1097/00000478-198505000-00008.

Abstract

Endometriosis occurred within the prostate of a 78-year-old man after a long course of estrogen therapy. The presence of endometrial tissue in the region of the urethral crest has potential histogenic and therapeutic implications for some of the neoplasms that arise in this area.
