  • Title: Perineural glands in normal and hyperplastic prostates.
    Author: Carstens PH.
    Journal: J Urol; 1980 May; 123(5):686-8. PubMed ID: 6158582.
    Abstract:
    Serial sections from 1 block of either a normal or hyperplastic prostate demonstrated at least 2 foci of perineural invasion in 7 of 8 consecutive autopsies. In addition to the perineural invasion a close relationship was found among nerves, glandular epithelium and vascular structures in all 8 autopsies. Although there are differences between the epithelium in perineural invasion in carcinoma and in normal or hyperplastic prostates perineural invasion can no longer be regarded as unequivocal evidence of malignancy.
