Slide 85: Prostatic hyperplasia
|
Here you can easily
see how the prostatic tissue is expanded with the mucin secreting glands.
Note the fibrous tissue septal divisions. You are likely to see a number
of lymphocytes within the stroma.
See this slide with the
virtual microscope. |
|
Note the serrated borders
of the prostatic glands with the "piled up" and hyperplastic epithelial covering.
You should be able to see a DOUBLE layer of epithelial cells in all the glands
and there should be no mitoses. You will likely see some chronic inflammation
in the interstitial tissue. Remember, this slide is almost certainly from
an old man and more than one condition may be present. |
