General
Microscopic
- Medium to large glands with an atypical morphology - key low power feature:
- Papillary or pseudopapillary infoldings, luminal undulations, branching or cystic dilatation.
- Nuclear features of conventional prostate cancer (nucleoli, nuclear enlargement).
Notes:
- Often associated with conventional (acinar) prostate adenocarcinoma.
- Pale abundant cytoplasm - similar to normal prostate.
DDx:
- Foamy gland carcinoma - often lack prominent nucleoli, smaller glands.
- Benign prostatic glands - esp. at low power.
