Benign periurethral mass lesions: the female prostate.
Bladder outflow obstruction in the female is usually a functional complaint, but rarely may be of organic aetiology, due to peri-urethral mass lesions. These lesions are usually midline in location and present clinical and roentgenological features comparable with those of prostate in the male. Two such patients, one of pure fibroma and another of hyperplastic glandular tissue are presented and their management is discussed.
