AbstractWe report two cases of the rare occurrence of prostatic epithelium in ovarian teratomas with associated transitional epithelium in one of the cases. This association of prostatic tissue with urothelium tends to reinforce the well‐established embryogenetic derivation of the prostate from the urogenital sinus. Local hormonal events may influence the formation of prostatic tissue from female urothelium. The histologic and immunohistological differences between adult prostate as seen in our cases and female paraurethral (Skene's) glands are discusse
