Abstract:
Objective To study the characteristic of the hyperplasia hypoechoic nodules in outer gland of prostate with transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsies. Methods 42 patients were suspected of prostatic cancer (PCa) for the existence of hypoechoic nodules in their outer glands of prostate. Each nodule was TRUS guided biopsied in sagittal and longitudinal section, respectively. The histological examinations were performed in double blind. Results Among the 42 patients, there were 22 cases of benign prostate hyperplasia (52.4%) and 20 cases of prostate cancer (47.6%). Conclusions The sonographic findings of the hypoechoic nodules in outer glands included not only PCa, but also benign hyperplasia nodules. Therefore, the definitive diagnosis must dependent on pathologic examinations.
