Histopathological Study of Lesions of Prostate in a Tertiary Care Centre in South India

Abstract

Background: A wide array of pathological disorders, encompassing both non-neoplastic and 
neoplastic lesions, are frequently observed in the prostate during everyday practice. The 
majority of prostatic neoplasms are benign, while the prostate is also a frequent location for 
malignancy, with the potential for metastasis. Prostatic carcinoma is the second most 
commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide and the sixth major cause of cancer mortality in 
males. Diagnosis is often conducted through histological analysis of transrectal core biopsies 
and transurethral resections.
