"Study of Various Histopathological Patterns in Prostate Biopsy"

Abstract

Introduction: Diseases of prostate gland are important source of morbidity and mortality in male patients. The spectrum of diseases consists of inflammatory conditions, nodular hyperplasia, malignancy etc. The risk of diseases increases with age. Prostate biopsy is essentially a test which detects cancer and other benign conditions of the prostate in patients who have specific indications for it. Other modalities of diagnosis also have been developed, comprising of radiological modalities and prostatic biomarkers. However, biopsy with histopathological examination is the gold standard for the final diagnosis.

Histomorphological Mimickers of benign prostatic lesions with prostatic adenocarcinoma

“…1 In India, it is among the top 10 leading sites of malignancy according to the Population-Based Cancer Registries constituting around 5% of all cancers. 2,3 Sometimes the diagnosis becomes a challenge because numerous benign prostatic and nonprostatic lesions and normal structures can be very similar to prostatic adenocarcinoma. Therefore, knowledge about the mimickers of PC is important to avoid misdiagnosis.…”
