Mesonephric remnant hyperplasia of the prostate gland, also mesonephric remnant, is rare benign finding in the prostate gland that can be confused with malignancy.
General
- Very rare.[1] ~ 0.6% incidence in a series of almost 700 TURP specimens.[2]
- Can mimic prostate carcinoma.[3]
Microscopic
Features:[1]
- Small glands in a lobular arrangement composed of cuboidal cells with:
- Scant-to-moderate cytoplasm.[2]
- Small/indistinct nucleoli.
DDx:[1]
- Sclerosing adenosis of the prostate gland.
- Prostate carcinoma - esp. Gleason pattern 5.
