in the past but usually remove soft tissue from the genitalia using aggressive cleaners such as KOH, or pepsin which targets proteinaceous structures. The tooth on the median lobe is soft and most likely protein which would not survive treatment with KOH or pepsin. In this study we only used weak acetic acid to soften specimens for dissection which is the most likely reason why the tooth survived intact on the median lobe.
