Abstract

Lesions with basaloid features are very rare and controversial within the prostate gland. There seems to be a morphologic continuum ranging from focal basal cell hyperplasia (BCH) to florid adenoid basal cell tumor (ABCT). The clinicopathological features of a basaloid lesion which was associated with an acinar prostatic carcinoma of the prostate gland are described in a 74-year-old man, and discussed under the light of the literature.
