Prostate is one of the most commonly affected organs in males with increasing age, accounting for significant morbidity and mortality. The most important categories of prostatic diseases are inflammatory lesions (prostatitis), nodular hyperplasia (benign prostatic hyperplasia), and carcinoma. It was a 3 years study done retrospectively from January 2016 to December 2018. It was conducted in histopathology section of the department of pathology of Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Ranchi. It was a 3 years study done retrospectively from January 2016 to December 2018. Chronic prostitis was present in 8cases (6.67%). PIN was diagnosed in 4 cases (3.33%). Benign hyperplasia of prostate (BPH) was the most common histological diagnosis with 77 cases (64.17%). Prostatic carcinoma was diagnosed in 28 cases (23.33%). Benign lesions were more common than malignant lesions. Histological study of prostate specimens is mandatory so as not to miss a malignancy.
