Prostatic-type polyp is an uncommon polyp of the genitourinary tract. It is typically centered on the verumontanum of the prostate gland and projects into the urethra.
It may be referred to as verumontanum mucosa gland hyperplasia;[1] however, Muezzinoglu et al. suggest they are a separate entity.[2]
