Prostatic chondroma.
The presence of cartilage in the prostate is a rare occurrence and has been reported to be the result of extension from a chondrosarcoma, usually of the symphysis pubis. Also reported has been the occurrence of cartilaginous metaplasia within the prostate. We report herein the occurrence of cartilaginous tissue within the prostate forming a distinct mass of chondroma. To our knowledge this has not been reported previously.
