The second reported papillary prostatic urethral carcinoma displaying an unusual clear‐cell or so‐called mesonephroid histologic appearance is described. Neoplasms arising from the utricular region have generated considerable discussion of their histogenesis and hormone‐responsiveness. A review of the literature as well as consideration of this case suggests that the lesion's clear‐cell appearance should not be used as evidence for müllerian derivation from the utricle. The authors favor a periurethral gland origin for this particular tumor.
