Zusammenfassung

Zu den nichtneoplastischen Veränderungen der Prostata gehören entzündliche, atrophische, hyper- und metaplastische Reaktionsmuster des Drüsenepithels und des fibromuskulären Stromas. Außerdem sind im Biopsiematerial gelegentlich histoanatomische Strukturen von außerhalb des Prostatadrüsengewebes enthalten. Die Kenntnis der morphologischen Erscheinungsformen benigner reaktiver Läsionen ist zur differenzialdiagnostischen Abgrenzung gegenüber malignen Prozessen wichtig. Das Wissen um die genaue Lokalisation der Gewebeentnahme und immunhistologische Zusatzuntersuchungen sind hierzu oft hilfreich oder erforderlich.

Abstract

Non-neoplastic changes in the prostatic gland include inflammatory, atrophic, hyperplastic and metaplastic reaction patterns of the glandular epithelium and the fibromuscular stroma. Furthermore, histoanatomical structures from outside the prostatic gland are sometimes included in biopsy material. Knowledge of the morphological appearance of benign, reactive lesions is important in order to differentiate them from malignancies. To this aim knowing the precise location of tissue sampling as well as ancillary immunohistochemical investigations are often useful or necessary.
