Supratrigonal ectopic prostate: case report and review of the literature.

A 76-year-old man with a 6-month history of dysuria and frequency had a sessile tumor at the bladder dome containing benign prostatic glandular tissue. The presence of benign prostatic polyps in the prostatic urethra and bladder neck is a common finding. Ectopic prostatic tissue elsewhere is rare, it has been described previously in a few cases in the trigonum and only once in the supratrigonal area. The origin of prostate glands in this unlikely location is not yet fully understood. Prostatic tissue at any ectopic location is benign, although local recurrence has been reported.
