Prostate Stones

Being the only exocrine organ located in the midline, the prostate gland is a compound tubuloalveolar exocrine gland of the male reproductive system, locating just below the bladder. The term “prostate” comes (as commonly published) from Greek prostates, literally which means “someone who stands before someone or something’’ that is ‘‘president’’ or ‘‘principal’’ ; however in a recent paper on history of medical terminology it was suggested that in fact the term was originating from Greek parastates which means literally ‘‘someone who stands next to someone or something’’ or ‘‘companion’’ and was transformed into prostates due to misspelling and misinterpretation [1].
