Perineural Indentation by Benign Prostatic Glands
Benign prostatic glands may abut nerves. Occasionally, they may even partially or completely wrap around a nerve.
This should not reflexly lead to the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma with perineural invasion. in this case, the gland lacks enlarged nuclei or nucleoli and shows scattered basal cells.
