Prostatic crystalloids: association with adenocarcinoma.

P E Jensen, W A Gardner, P V Piserchia

    The Prostate
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Intraglandular crystalloids were found in 10% of prostatic adenocarcinoma cases. These structures, seen in malignant and adjacent benign glands, may aid in diagnosing prostate cancer from limited biopsy samples.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pathology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Prostatic adenocarcinoma is a common cancer in men.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment.
    • Diagnostic challenges can arise with limited biopsy material.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the presence and morphology of intraglandular crystalloids in prostatic adenocarcinoma.
    • To determine the diagnostic utility of crystalloids in prostate cancer detection.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 393 consecutive cases of prostatic adenocarcinoma.
    • Morphological analysis of intraglandular crystalloids.
    • Correlation with clinical and demographic parameters.

    Main Results:

    • Intraglandular crystalloids were identified in 10% of cases.
    • Crystalloids were predominantly found in malignant acini, occasionally in adjacent benign glands.
    • No clinical or demographic variables reliably characterized patients with crystalloids.

    Conclusions:

    • Intraglandular crystalloids are a distinct finding in prostatic adenocarcinoma.
    • These structures may serve as a diagnostic marker for prostate cancer, especially with equivocal biopsy findings.
