ABSTRACT

Sclerosing adenosis of the prostate is an infrequent lesion histologically characterized by a glandular proliferation with basal cells showing mioepithelial differentiation admixed in cellular spindle cell stroma. Sclerosing adenosis can be misdiagnosed as adenocarcinoma, especially when nuclear atypia and prominent nucleoli are present. The majority of the cases have single nodules confined to the transition zone. We present the case of an extensive sclerosing adenosis of prostate in a 77 years old male patient, affecting approximately 50% of the prostatic volume.
