|- | |||
| Adenosis | |||
| gradual transition between normal & small gland (NOT two populations) | |||
| many small glands, lack nuclear size variation, basal layer present | |||
| nucleoli may be present; may need to do p63 or 34betaE12 to find basal layer | |||

|- | |||
| Sclerosing adenosis | |||
| gradual transition between normal & small gland (NOT two populations), fibrosis | |||
| many small glands, lack nuclear size variation, basal layer present | |||
| analogous to sclerosing adenosis of breast (???) | |||

| Atropy | |||
| scant cytoplasm | |||
| nuclear hyperchromasia | |||
| may appear right beside non-atrophic tissue | |||
| '''Image''' | |||
|- | |||
| Basal cell hyperplasia | |||
| two distinct cell populations (in epithelial component) | |||
| abundant epithelium, nucleoli, no nuclear size var. | |||
| vaguely similar to epithelial hyperplasia of usual type (EHUT) in breast | |||
| '''Image''' | |||

| Bulbourethral gland | |||
| no nuclear atypia | |||
| clear cytoplasm | |||
| apex of prostate | |||

|- | |||
| Seminal vesicles | |||
| lipofuscin (yellow granular material in cytoplasm) | |||
| fern-like arrangement of epithelium, nucleoli, surrounded by muscle | |||
| involvement by cancer changes staging | |||

| Radiation exposure | |||
| marked nuclear size variation | |||
| lack nucleoli ??? | |||
| history of Rx; uniform nuc. size with Hx of Rx should raise susp. of cancer | |||
