* Background.--Elastosis of the prostate may be seen on needle biopsy and radical prostatectomy specimens, but its significance is unknown. Prostatic atrophy (or postatrophic hyperplasia) is one of the most frequent mimics of prostatic adenocarcinoma.

Objective.--To observe the frequent occurrence of elastosis of the prostate stroma in areas of postatrophic hyperplasia.

Design.--A step-section method was used to cut the posterior lobe (or peripheral zone) in coronal planes...
