Prostatic tissue in benign cystic ovarian teratomas

Hum Pathol. 1996 Apr;27(4):428-9. doi: 10.1016/s0046-8177(96)90119-7.

Abstract

Benign prostatic tissue was found in three of 25 benign cystic teratomas of the ovary. Our finding may indicate that prostatic tissue in mature ovarian teratomas is more common than currently reflected in literature.
