ABSTRACT
Analysis of the pattern of prostatic disease in Faisalabad. Case series study. Department of Pathology, University Medical and Dental College [UM and DC] and Meezan Laboratory [ML]. Duration of the study is three years. All prostatic specimens presenting to the Pathology department at the UM and DC and ML for histopathology were included. During this period 540 prostatic biopsies were examined. The mean age of the patients was 67 years. Out of these 467 [86.5%] were benign, 2 [0.3%] had prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia and 71 [13.5%] were malignant. All the cases of malignancies were adenocarcinomas. Most of them were well differentiated [Gleason's score 2-4]. The highest incidence of hyperplasia and malignancy occurred between 60-70 years of age. The incidence of prostatic cancer is on the rise and measures should be taken for early detection
