Adenosis of the prostate gland, also adenosis of the prostate, is a benign change of the prostate gland, typically seen in the transistion zone of the prostate, and may be mistaken for (low grade) prostatic adenocarcinoma.[1]
It is also known as atypical adenomatous hyperplasia.[2][3]
General
- May be mistaken for prostatic adenocarcinoma.[4]
- Lesion of the transistion zone of the prostate.[1]
- Not considered a precursor of prostatic adenocarcinoma.[5]
Microscopic
Features:
- Glandular crowding - key feature.
- Glands may be back-to-back.
- Lack of prominent nucleoli.
DDx:
- Adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
- Foamy gland adenocarcinoma - typically has intraluminal crystalloids.
- Bulbourethral gland - at apex of prostate.
- Atypical sclerosing adenosis of the prostate.[6]

IHC
- CK5/6 +ve. ‡
- p63 +ve. ‡
- AMACR -ve.
- ERG -ve.[5]
Notes:
- ‡ Often patchy - some glands in a group may lack basal cells.
