Abstract

Abstract: The female genital tract can give rise to a variety of metaplastic and ectopic tissue types. We report a case of incidental prostatic-type tissue in a loop excision specimen for cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN). We also review the histogenesis, potential pitfalls and immunohistochemistry of this diagnosis.
