Abstract :

Background :&ndash; Prostate gland of male reproductive system is about the size of walnut and surrounds the urethra. Most frequently encountered diseases affecting prostate are prostatitis, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and prostatic cancer. The aim of this study is to characterize various prostatic lesions on histological ground in patients undergoing prostatectomy for worsening symptoms of BPH. Methods:&ndash; It was a cross&ndash; sectional study conducted in pathology department of G.R. Medical college, Gwalior (M.P.). During the period of June&ndash; 2010 to June&ndash;2014. Pathology department of G.R. Medical college collected specimens from Jayarogya group of hospitals. Specimens were taken through TURP, simple prostatectomy and radical prostatectomy. A questionnaire was made and information including name, age, Biopsy number were noted in it. Results:&ndash; During the targeted months, 92 prostatic specimens were received with a mean age of the patients was 67 year (45 year to 90 year). When histological biopsy chart of 92 male patients who underwent prostatectomy between specified period were reviewed the findings were as follows &ndash; 90.3% cases were benign whereas 9.7% cases were malignant. Conclusion:&ndash; Frequency of prostatic cancer is on the rise and measures should be taken for its early detection. Both BPH and prostatic adenocarcinoma were more prevalent in the age group of 60&ndash;70 years. Among Benign lesions BPH and prostatitis were most common whereas high grade PIN is least common
