Riassunto

La prostata trae origine, insieme alla vescica e all’ uretra, dall ’epitelio del seno urogenitale. L ’ipoplasia o l ’aplasia ghiandolare sono anomalie molto rare, in genere collegate ad anomalie genetiche o conseguenti all ’assenza di specifici recettori ormonali. La sindrome più frequente in cui queste anomalie si osservano è la prune-belly syn rome, una rara malformazione complessa che colpisce preferenzialmente il sesso maschile [1]. L ’esame radiologico più indicato è la cistouretrografia minzionale (CUM), che dimostra ectasia e apparente allungamento dell ’uretra intraprostatica che termina a livello del segmento membranoso.
