Abstract
Atypical cribriform lesions of the prostate gland consist of proliferation of cribriform glands lined by cytologically malignant cells with partial or complete basal cell lining. It may represent cribriform “high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia” (HGPIN) or “intraductal carcinoma of the prostate” (IDC-P), and are distinguished from cribriform prostate cancer by lack of confluent and/or infiltrative architecture and presence of basal cells [1]. In 1996, IDC-P was first proposed by McNeal and Yemoto [2], and several studies have attempted to further refine histologic definition of IDC-P in the past decade [1, 3–5]. IDC-P is almost always associated with clinically aggressive high-volume prostate carcinoma [1,6].
