Blue Nevus of the Prostate in Needle Biopsy Specimen
نویسندگان
چکیده
Prostate gland is an unusual location for melanocytic lesions such as blue nevus. Typically, all three different types of melanchromatic lesions in the prostate, blue nevus, melanosis and malignant melanoma, are very rare and must be differentially diagnosed. These lesions are incidental findings in prostatic tissue biopsies and have a potential correlation with prostate adenocarcinoma. Blue nevus itself is a benign lesion and there is no need for further treatment. We present a case of a 69-year-old male who underwent needle biopsy procedure for prostate cancer investigation. On histological examination together with prostatic hyperplasia, the presence of a blue nevus, as incidental finding was diagnosed.

Exploring the Effect of PSA Density and Prostate Size on Concordance of TRUS Biopsy Result with Radical Prostatectomy
Background and Objective: Today’s, the Gleason grading system is well known as the world’s most commonly used histological system for prostate cancer. It provides significant information about the prognosis. This prospective paper assessed the correlation of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsy and radical prostatectomy specimens in terms of Gleason scores. In this matter, the effect of ...

Background: Presence of discordance between the Gleason score on needle biopsy and the score of radical prostatectomy specimen is common and universal. In this study, we determined the accuracy of Gleason grading of biopsies in predicting histological grading of radical prostatectomy specimens and the degree of overgrading and undergrading of prostatic adenocarcinoma i...

The present study was undertaken to compare the gleason score and histologic grade of needle biopsy specimens to those of radical prostatectomy(RP) specimen to examine how accurately biopsy specimens reflect the corresponding excised specimens. In this comparative-descriptive study, gleason scoring was made on the needle biopsy specimens from 57 patients with prostate cancer and then ...

Background: Transrectal ultrasonography guided needle biopsy of prostate frequently used for early detection of cancer has faced the pathologists with a major diagnostic challenge. In recent years P504S has been used as a tumor cell marker for definitive diagnosis of prostatic cancer in small biopsy specimens.Methods: 70 prostate needle biopsies and 6 transurethral resections (TURP) containing ...
