Image Description
Basal cell hyperplasia may occasionally involve the peripheral zone of the prostate and be detected in needle biopsies. These cases usually show scattered glands and solid nests composed of basal cells. The lobular configuration is not apparent since an entire nodule cannot physically be sampled in a single core.
