The investigators report a series of prostatic-type lesions occurring in the lower female genital tract. The cases included a 4.5-cm mass representing hyperplasia of the glandular and stromal tissue of paraurethral Skene gland, a small ectopic prostatic lesion in the vulva, and 4 tubulosquamous vaginal polyps. All lesions were immunopositive for prostate-specific antigen and/or prostatic acid phosphatase. A brief discussion of the earlier published material is included.
