    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Prostatic calculi are common, found in 99% of prostates and increase with age. These prostate stones are a normal aging process and rarely cause clinical issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Gerontology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Prostatic calculi, or prostate stones, are common findings.
    • Their prevalence and characteristics in relation to aging are not fully understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence, characteristics, and localization of prostatic calculi in a large autopsy cohort.
    • To determine if prostatic calculi correlate with age and other pathological parameters.

    Main Methods:

    • Examination of 300 whole prostates from consecutive autopsies.
    • Utilized Faxitron imaging technique for calculi detection.
    • Analyzed number, size, and location of calculi.

    Main Results:

    • Prostatic calculi were present in 99% of examined prostates.

  • Calculi prevalence, number, and size increased with age.
  • Calculi were primarily located in ducts of the border zone and posterolateral peripheral prostate, and anteriorly in the centerline; never in middle lobes.
  • No significant correlation found between calculi and other morphological or pathological parameters.

    • Conclusions:

    • Prostatic calculi are a ubiquitous finding associated with aging.
    • Their presence is considered a normal aspect of the aging process.
    • Prostatic calculi have minimal clinical significance in most cases.
