title: [Ferdinand Albert Wilhelm von Brunn (1849-1895): Rostock's contribution to urology at the end of the 19th century].
abstract: While the biographies of other prominent anatomists of the 19th century have been described in detail, little is known about Albert von Brunn. His most important scientific contributions were the description of the embryology and histology of the adrenal glands and of the Brunn epithelial nests of the urothelium which are considered pathognomonic for cystitis cystica.
