Area of Science:

Urology
Cell Biology
Histopathology

Background:

Prostatic glandular tissue contains acellular structures like corpora amylacea and prostatic crystalloids.
These structures are common findings in the prostate gland.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe novel intracytoplasmic inclusions found in benign prostatic epithelial cells.
To investigate the characteristics of these newly identified prostatic inclusions.

Main Methods:

Histochemical analysis
Immunohistologic investigation
Electron microscopy

Main Results:

First-time description of intracytoplasmic inclusions in benign prostatic epithelial cells.

Inclusions observed in the central and transition zones of the prostate gland.

Extensive investigations failed to elucidate the precise nature of these inclusions.

Conclusions:

Novel intracytoplasmic inclusions have been identified in the prostate gland.
The exact composition and origin of these prostatic inclusions require further research.
