Corpora amylaceae

Corpora amylaceae are tiny calciﬁed lamellated bodies found in the glandular alveoli of the prostates of elderly men and apes, but not in the prostates of animals lower in the phylo - genetic /uni00A0 scale than anthropoids. Corpora amylaceae are prob - ably the forerunners of endogenous prostatic calculi.
