Notes:
*The apex of the prostate gland may have some skeletal muscle. Thus, it is difficult to define extension at this site. EPE is not called at the apex by some pathologists; however, it is generally believed to exist.<ref name=pmid20802467/>

*The anterior prostate has fibromuscular stroma that is difficult to separate from the extraprostatic tissue.<ref name=pmid18049129>{{cite journal |authors=Fine SW, Al-Ahmadie HA, Gopalan A, Tickoo SK, Scardino PT, Reuter VE |title=Anatomy of the anterior prostate and extraprostatic space: a contemporary surgical pathology analysis |journal=Adv Anat Pathol |volume=14 |issue=6 |pages=401–7 |date=November 2007 |pmid=18049129 |doi=10.1097/PAP.0b013e3181597a9c |url=}}</ref>
