Abstract:
ObjectiveThe possibility of the hyperplasi a of prostatic outer gland was studied with transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsies. MethodsTwenty-seven prostatic outer glands in patients suspicious for prostatic cancer (PCA) were biopsied by TRUS guided, the total sites were 47. The same site was biopsied in sagittal and longitudinal section respectively. The hypoechoic lesion was biopsied 2 times if it was discovered in the outer gland. The histological results were diagnosed in double blind. Results Twenty prostatic inner glands looked symmetrical hyperplasia; 9 outer glands became thin because of the compression, there was no compressive sign in 18 patients; there was a hypoechoic lesion in outer gland of 3 patients. Benign prostatic hyperplasia was diagnosed in the specimens of 47 sites. ConclusionsThe hyperplasia of prostatic outer gland can occur like inner gland because it is glandular tissue.
