Yes, but they are not normally ordained bishop; although some are and have their see as the monastery, or a larger see (e.g. Monte Olivetti, and an Arch Abbey in Canada, I forget the name)
The monastic cathedrals did not elect the bishop as per the rule, but did the prior ( at least officially, many were imposed, for election)

Luciana,
Don't abbots have the privilege of mitre and crozier
