title: Benign polyps with prostatic-type epithelium of the urethra.
abstract: Benign polyps of the male urethra may be composed of prostatic-type epithelium and acini. Usually located in the prostatic portion of the urethra, they have been reported to be a major cause of hematuria in young men. Three new cases are described to foster an awareness of this distinctive clinicopathologic entity.
