Ectopic prostatic tissue (EPT) in the female genital tract is a relatively rare histopathological finding. EPT occurs when tissue from one region is found in another region, a phenomenon observed in various medical cases. However, the presence of ectopic tissue specific to one gender in another is uncommon. An 83-year-old woman presented to the gynaecology outpatient clinic with symptoms of uterovaginal prolapse and subsequently underwent a vaginal hysterectomy. Histologic examination of the uterus revealed the presence of mixed glandular and squamous prostatic elements within the cervical tissue. The exact embryological origins of cervical ectopic prostatic tissue remain incompletely understood. It is likely that a combination of genetic, hormonal, and developmental factors contributes to its occurrence.
女性生殖道中的异位前列腺组织（EPT）是一种相对罕见的组织病理学发现。当在一个区域发现来自另一个区域的组织时，就会出现异位现象，这种现象在各种医疗病例中都有观察到。然而，一种性别特有的异位组织出现在另一种性别中并不常见。一名83岁女性因子宫阴道脱垂症状前往妇科门诊就诊，随后接受了阴道子宫切除术。对子宫的组织学检查显示，宫颈组织内存在混合的腺性和鳞状前列腺成分。宫颈异位前列腺组织的确切胚胎起源仍不完全清楚。遗传、激素和发育因素的综合作用可能导致其发生。
