title: [Embryologic hypotheses of prostatic ectopy: apropos of a case].
abstract: Events implicated in the development and the differentiation of the prostate gland are determinant to understand the pathology. Mc Neal's zonal anatomy is essential, the basis of which are found in the differences of embryonic origins. We describe a case of prostate ectopia, localized on the lateral aspect of the rectum. Final pathology report showed prostate adenoma. Different types of prostate ectopia have been described in the literature. Histological results showed that we can distinguish two types of ectopia: one which develops from the uro-genital sinus and the other from the mesonephrotic structures.
