Reading method
Assess architecture and infiltrate at low power.
Morphological description
Inflammatory cells involve glandular tissue.
Interpretation and diagnostic limits
The published diagnosis uses evidence absent from this image.
Differential diagnoses
Compare ordinary prostatitis and other inflammation.
Clinical correlation
Correlate immunostains and extra-prostatic involvement.
