Figure 2. Pathological examination. A) Histological preparation. The tumor is present in the LPF. A tiny prostate cancer existing near the tumor was pointed out on imaging. B) The tumor is growing between the layers of LPF in a pseudocapsule, comprising a tiny prostate cancer present within morphologically normal prostate tissue. Detecting this tiny prostate cancer infiltrating the prostatic fascia was difficult.
