Ectopic Intravesical Prostatic Tissue - Case Report

Abstract So far in the reviewed literature, less than 50 cases of ectopic intravesical prostate tissue has been published. Possible complications are obstruction of urine and malignant alterations. We present a 48-year-old asymptomatic male patient, who was diagnosed with a bladder lesion around 3 cm in diameter, incidentally by ultrasound scan. It was presumed to be a bladder tumor. Following cystoscopy and computed tomography scan, the entire tumor positioned in the proximity of the left ureteral orifice was removed by transurethral resection. The pathohistological report showed that it was ectopic prostate tissue. Ectopic prostate tissue is very rare in the urinary bladder and mimics bladder tumor. The diagnosis is established after transurethral resection of tissue and histological examination.
