Extensive PI-RADS 5 changes in the peripheral zones (right more than left) most pronounced posterior in the TRUS biopsy field.
Neurovascular bundle, extracapsular and seminal vesicle invasion with prostatic tissue abutting, if not invading the anterior aspect of the rectum.

Case Discussion
Prostate adenocarcinoma. Radiological stage: T3b/T4,N1,Mx
Specimen: Prostatic needle core biopsies.
Macroscopy: 1. Right - three cores up to 17 mm. 2. Left - three cores up to 17 mm.
Microscopy:
1. Right - adenocarcinoma is present, of the usual microacinar type Gleason patterns present: 4 + 5 Number of cores invaded by tumor: All Percentage of tissue involved by tumor: 90 % Perineural invasion is seen Extraprostatic invasion is not seen
2. Left - adenocarcinoma is present, of the usual microacinar type. Gleason patterns present: 4 + 5 Number of cores invaded by tumor: All Percentage of tissue involved by tumor: 90 % Perineural invasion is seen Extraprostatic invasion is not seen Comment: The global combined Gleason score = 9; 4 + 5 (Grade Group = 5).
Diagnosis:
1. Right - adenocarcinoma - combined Gleason score = 9; 4 + 5 (Grade Group = 5).
2. Left - adenocarcinoma - combined Gleason score = 9; 4 + 5 (Grade Group = 5).
