Vulnerabilities of Prostate Glandular Concretions Considered as Artefacts: A Cross-sectional Biopsy Slide Study by Surraj SUSAI, Rohini MOTWANI, Mrudula CHANDRUPATLA

“…Methods: Fifty hematoxylin and eosin slides that were prepared from procured transrectal biopsy specimens of normal prostate glands from asymptomatic patients suspected of having a prostatic disease but later found to be normal were retrospectively observed for the staining, contour, and positioning of the aggregated masses or concretions within their prostatic lumina and were then compared with the blood prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels. Results: Although significant associations highlighting the utility of these masses in presumed pathological states of the gland were drawn by comparing their staining parameters and contours to those of their respective PSA levels, their interluminal contour variations and vivid staining appearances did not necessarily rule out the possibility of some of them being artefacts, provided they were assessed in totality with the surrounding acini. …”
