# | '''Basal cell hyperplasia of the prostate''', also known as '''basal cell hyperplasia''', is a benign change of the [[prostate gland]] that may be misdiagnosed as [[prostate carcinoma]]. | ||

**Glands ''not'' as small as cancer. | |||
**Folds in gland lumina. | |||
*No nuclear hyperchromasia. | |||
*Two cell populations (as in normal prostate glands). | |||
*Basal cells may have nucleoli. | |||
