Macroscopic appearance: Prostatic cancer. Solid nodule with blurred margin on cut surface A. Most of the time, the area of prostatic cancer cannot be recognized as clearly as the area of benign prostatic hypertrophy.

The blue dotted line highlights the histologically confirmed cancer area in both A and B.
