Abstract

We describe a patient with an incidental finding of prostatic tissue in the uterine cervix. There was immunohistochemical evidence of its prostatic nature, as shown by its positivity to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and prostate acid phosphatase (PAP), and female genetic profile was confirmed by the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique. To our knowledge this is the first report of prostatic tissue in the uterine cervix, and of the use of the FISH technique to exclude mismatching of the biopsy material with a male prostate.
