Abstract
Background: Ectopic prostatic tissue in female patients is rare. It is theorized that the presence of prostatic tissue in female patients is likely a Wolffian remnant or transformation of hormonally mediated tissue of the uterus, cervix, Skene's gland, and, rarely, periurethral tissue. Due to the increase in the use of testosterone and gender-affirming therapies, it is important to understand the role of testosterone in mediating the presence of ectopic prostatic tissue.
Case: We present a case of ectopic prostatic tissue in a urethral diverticulum in a female patient with exposure to testosterone hormone therapy and review the literature on this finding.
Conclusion: Although rare, ectopic prostatic tissue should be considered in the differential diagnosis of anterior vaginal cysts, especially in the setting of testosterone supplementation.
期刊介绍：
ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces is a leading interdisciplinary journal that brings together chemists, engineers, physicists, and biologists to explore the development and utilization of newly-discovered materials and interfacial processes for specific applications. Our journal has experienced remarkable growth since its establishment in 2009, both in terms of the number of articles published and the impact of the research showcased. We are proud to foster a truly global community, with the majority of published articles originating from outside the United States, reflecting the rapid growth of applied research worldwide.
