I saw the "female prostate".

This article delves into the diagnostic implications of the female prostate sign, a distinctive radiological sign observed in magnetic resonance imaging of female patients with substantial urethral diverticula. We discuss the association of this sign with urethral diverticula, emphasizing its mimetic resemblance to prostatic hypertrophy observed in older males. Through a comprehensive review of clinical presentations, diagnostic imaging advancements, and treatment modalities, our article underscores the significance of magnetic resonance imaging as a superior diagnostic tool. Our findings support the enhanced recognition and understanding of the female prostate sign among healthcare professionals, facilitating accurate diagnoses and informed management of urethral diverticula.
