Abstract

ABSTRACT

Present study relates with the results of histopathological examination of core biopsy tissue from a patient with prostatic adenocarcinoma.  Adenocarcinoma was graded according to Gleason’s criteria into 5 grades (grade 1 to 5) with decreasing differentiation.  Histopathological classification of tumour mainly depends upon architectural irregularities with increasing anaplasia.  At least 2 patterns are recognized in a prostatic carcinoma.  In addition, most prevalent grade is added with second most common grade to obtain a Gleason score.

KEY WORDS: Adenocarcinoma Prostate Gleason tertiary pattern
