Histopathological spectrum of 364 prostatic specimens including immunohistochemistry with special reference to grey zone lesions

Abstract: Purpose:Prostatic lesions on routine staining sometimes cause a diagnostic dilemma, especially when malignant tissue is limited and is mixed with benign prostatic glands or because of the presence of benign mimickers of carcinoma. The application of immunohistochemistry contributes a valuable differential diagnosis. This study aimed to evaluate a complete spectrum of various prostatic lesions and to supplement the histopathological diagnosis with immunohistochemistry in suspicious or atypical cases.Methods:A t… Show more

“…There was no significant difference in the mean age between patients with benign and malignant lesions (p value 0.27). This finding is in agreement with the study by Garg M et al 7 . Benign lesions were common in the age group of 61-70 years whereas malignant lesions were common in the age group of 71-80 years which is in concordance with other studies.…”

“…Although tools such as trans-rectal ultrasound, prostate specific antigen (PSA) are used for screening of prostate cancer, biopsy still remains the gold standard for final diagnosis. 7 In our study most of the specimens received were TURP (88.54%), which was similar to other studies. 8,9 This could be due to the fact that TURP is a preferred surgery for nodular hyperplasia of prostate as it is a simple procedure with fewer complications.…”

“…3,24 The incidence of AAH in our research was noted to be 1.22% which correlates with the findings reported by Puttaswamy K et al (2%) and Garg et al (1.65%). 21,25 PIN is defined as a cytological alteration in architecturally normal glands. Currently, it is grouped into two categories: LGPIN and HGPIN.…”

“…Carcinoma of prostate is most common internal malignancy among men in United State and is responsible for 10% of cancer deaths 5 .In India, prostate cancers constitute about 5% of all cancers in male 5,6 . Screening of prostatic lesions constitute prostate specific antigen, digital rectal examination, and transrectal ultrasound, but biopsy remains the gold standard diagnostic tool for final diagnosis.…”
