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.
