    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.
    Hyperplasia of prostate, high power view. 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.
