Adenosis (Atypical Adenomatous Hyperplasia) of Prostate
نویسنده
چکیده
It almost exclusively develops in the transition zone often within or adjacent to typical hyperplastic nodules and often multifocal. The prevalence of adenosis in transurethral prostatectomy specimens without cancer ranges from 1.6% to 7.3% (2). It has been detected in up to 33% of radical prostatectomy specimens (3). Due to uncommon sampling of the transition zone, it is rare in transrectal needle biopsies of the prostate, having a prevalence of around 0.8% (4).

Atypical adenomatous hyperplasia of the prostate mimicking adenocarcinoma lesion: case report and literature review.
The diagnosis of prostate cancer is challenging because of the existence of lesions that mimic adenocarcinoma. Such a lesion is atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) or adenosis, which represents a proliferation of crowded, small to medium glands with basal cell layer invariably present, but often inconspicuous on routine stains. The importance of the lesion lies in the potential for being mis...

A 62-year-old male presented with symptoms of urinary obstruction and elevated serum prostate-specific antigen level of 3.61 ng/mL. Prostate needle biopsies showed benign prostatic tissue with a focus of crowded glands with minimal cytological atypia, fairly well-circumscribed with infiltrative appearance of glands at the edges. This focus had both small and larger glands with similar histologi...

One of the major diagnostic challenges in prostate needle biopsy interpretation is definitive establishment of a malignant diagnosis based on a minimal or limited amount of carcinoma in needle biopsy tissue. Major and minor diagnostic criteria should be used for interpretation of small foci of carcinoma. The constellation of findings and a combination of the major and minor diagnostic criteria ...

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 ...
