The recent observation of spermatozoa within the human prostate prompted this study to determine if spermatozoa were present in prostates of nonhuman primates. Six of 32 squirrel monkey prostates contained intraglandular spermatozoa. No associated pathologic lesions were found. Spermiophages were seen in one case. Although intraprostatic spermatozoa have been postulated to play a role in various prostatic diseases, a normal physiologic phenomenon cannot be excluded.
近期在人类前列腺内观察到精子，促使本研究确定非人灵长类动物的前列腺中是否存在精子。32只松鼠猴的前列腺中，有6只含有腺体内精子。未发现相关病理病变。在1例中观察到了噬精细胞。尽管前列腺内精子被推测在各种前列腺疾病中起作用，但也不能排除这是一种正常的生理现象。
