High-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia
Diagnosis in short

High-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia. H&E stain.

Synonyms prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia

LM nuclear changes (hyperchromatic nuclei, nucleoli present, +/-increased NC ratio, mild-to-moderate nuclear enlargement), medium-to-large glands with the architecture of HGPIN (tufted, micropapillary, cribriform, flat)
LM DDx basal cell hyperplasia, prostatic adenocarcinoma, PIN-like prostatic ductal adenocarcinoma, atypical small acinar proliferation (biopsy only)
IHC AMACR +ve, basal cells present (p63 +ve, CK34betaE12 +ve)
Gross not evident
Site prostate gland

Associated Dx prostate adenocarcinoma
Signs none
Symptoms none
Prevalence common
Blood work +/-PSA elevated
Radiology not identifiable
Prognosis benign
Clin. DDx prostate carcinoma
Treatment follow-up +/-re-biopsy

High-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, abbreviated as HGPIN, is considered the precursor for prostate carcinoma.

It may be referred to as prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, abbreviated PIN.

General

  • Thought to be a precursor lesion for prostate adenocarcinoma.
  • Incidence ~5-8% on core biopsy.[1]
  • Multifocal HGPIN considered a risk for prostate cancer on re-biopsy.[2][3]
    • A small focus of HGPIN does not appear to be associated with an increased risk for prostate cancer on re-biopsy at one year if the initial biopsy had 8 or more cores.[4]


Low-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia:

  • Should not be reported.[1]
  • Believed to be irrelevant biologically/clinically.
    • PIN not otherwise specified refers to HGPIN.
    • Low-grade PIN has the architecture of HGPIN but lacks the nuclear atypia.

HGPIN and cancer on follow-up biopsy

Prostate cancer on follow-up biopsy by number of HGPIN sites from Merrimen et al.:[3]

Number of cores
with HGPIN
Odds ratio of cancer
on follow-up (95% CI)
0 1.00 (reference)
1 1.02 (0.73-1.40)
2 1.55 (1.08-2.21)
3 1.99 (1.16-3.40)
4 2.66 (1.10-6.40)

Gross

  • Not evident on gross.

Microscopic

Features:[5][6]

  • Medium to large glands with architectural changes - see HGPIN architecture below.
    • Described as "epithelial hyperplasia".
  • Diagnosed on basis of nuclear changes.
    • Hyperchromatic nuclei - key (low power) feature.
    • Nucleoli present - key (high power) feature.
    • Often increased NC ratio.
    • Nuclear enlargement.

Notes:

  • Nucleoli should be visible with the 20x objective.
    • If one uses the 40x objective... one over calls.
  • May need IHC for cancer versus HGPIN.
  • Nucleoli should be present in >= 10% of cells in a gland to call it HGPIN.[7]
    • This criterium is not required by all pathologists.

DDx:

HGPIN architecture

There are several forms:[8][9]

  • Flat - uncommon.
  • Tufting - common.
  • Micropapillary - common.
  • Cribriform - rare.

Note:

  • The architectural pattern is not thought to have any prognostic significance; however, it may be useful for differentiating it from benign prostate.

Images

IHC

  • HGPIN: AMACR +ve, p63 +ve, HMWCK +ve.
  • Cancer: AMACR +ve, p63 -ve, HMWCK -ve.
  • Normal: AMACR -ve‡, p63 +ve, HMWCK +ve.

Note:

  • ‡ May be positive in normal prostate.[10]

Comment for many cores with HGPIN

If there is (isolated) HGPIN in more than 3 or 4 cores:

COMMENT:
As high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia is found in multiple cores, close 
follow-up is suggested, with a re-biopsy when indicated.

TURP

PROSTATE TISSUE, TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION OF THE PROSTATE (TURP):
- HIGH-GRADE PROSTATIC INTRAEPITHELIAL NEOPLASIA (HGPIN), FOCAL.
- ACUTE AND CHRONIC INFLAMMATION.
- UROTHELIUM WITH MILD INFLAMMATION.
- NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
