Primary references anatomy histology PSA
Prostatitis: prostatitis prostatitis with eosinophils malakoplakia other infections abscess
Granulomatous lesions: general non-specific allergic granulomatous prostatitis post-TURP granulomas TB-bCG granulomas
Benign lesions/conditions: amyloid blue nevus calculi cystadenoma ectopic prostate endometriosis extramedullary hematopoiesis ganglioneuroma infarct inflammatory pseudotumor leiomyoma lipofuscin melanosis nodular hyperplasia Paneth cell-like change postoperative spindle cell nodules retention cysts rhabdomyoma signet ring nodule urethral polyps utricle cysts venous thrombosis
Prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia/PIN: low grade PIN high grade PIN with adjacent small atypical glands
Prostatic carcinoma: general core biopsies adenocarcinoma of peripheral ducts grading immunohistochemistry atypical glands suspicious for malignancy treatment effect vanishing cancer phenomenon
Other carcinomas: adenoid basal cell tumor adenosquamous atrophic atypical cribriform lesions basaloid carcinoma carcinoid tumor carcinosarcoma clear cell adenocarcinoma foamy gland adenocarcinoma lymphoepithelioma-like carcinoma metastases to prostate mucinous (colloid) mucinous adenocarcinoma-bladder type neuroendocrine prostatic duct carcinoma pseudohyperplastic signet ring small cell squamous cell urothelial carcinoma
Microscopic mimics of prostatic carcinoma: adenosis/atypical adenomatous hyperplasia atrophy basal cell hyperplasia clear cell cribriform hyperplasia Cowper's glands mesonephric remnant hyperplasia mucous gland metaplasia nephrogenic metaplasia/adenoma paraganglion tissue partial atrophy postatrophic hyperplasia radiation changes sclerosing adenosis seminal vesicles / ejaculatory duct squamous metaplasia urothelial metaplasia verumontanum mucosal hyperplasia xanthoma cells
Other malignancies: angiosarcoma ectomesenchymoma embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma leiomyosarcoma lymphoma malignant fibrous histiocytoma PEComa phyllodes tumor PNET solitary fibrous tumor stromal proliferations of uncertain malignant potential stromal sarcoma synovial sarcoma yolk sac
Miscellaneous: staging features to report grossing specimens
Cowper's glands: normal carcinoma
Seminal vesicles: normal amyloidosis carcinoma cystadenoma cysts mullerian adenosarcoma-like tumor phyllodes schwannoma tuberculosis urothelial carcinoma urothelial metaplasia
