Abstract
A 76-year-old man with frequency, dysuria, and urinary incontinence underwent a transurethral resection of the prostate. On microscopic examination, three prostatic chips had a proliferation of irregular crowded acini, small nests, and single cells within a cellular stroma, which created an infiltrative pattern that thought by some observers to represent carcinoma. The acini were lined by columnar, and focally, by basal (myoepithelial) cells; the latter were more clearly demonstrated with immunoperoxidase stains for cytokeratin and S100 protein. In our opinion, the lesion represents rare variant of benign prostatic hyperplasia analogous to sclerosing adenosis of the breast.
