Important:
*EPE cannot be called on a biopsy unless the tumour is next to adipose tissue.<ref>Evans, A. 4 June 2010.</ref>

Prostatectomy specimens - EPE is present if there is either:
#A "significant bulge" in the contour of the prostate at low power ''and'' no fibromuscular tissue surrounding the malignant cells.
#Malignant cells directly adjacent to peri-prostatic adipose tissue.

*The prostate, at the apex, may have some skeletal muscle. Thus, it is difficult to define extention... ergo EPE not called at the apex.
 
Prostate biopsy - EPE is present if:
