[Low-stage prostatic adenocarcinoma and atypical lesions of the prostate].

: Prostate lesions whose morphological features raise doubt to the pathologist may be classed generically as being atypical hyperplasia or pseudoneoplastic lesions and are referred to in the literature using different terms. However, these have histopathological features such as dysplasia that appear to be frequently associated with small, low stage prostatic adenocarcinoma. Small atypical lesions found in the biopsy specimens of patients with stage A1 adenocarcinoma warrant a more radical therapeutic approach particularly in the younger patients.
