Report
Indication: Raised PSA. Positive PCA3 test.
Technique: T1, T2, diffusion-weighted and dynamic contrast-enhanced images. Findings: The prostate volume is 25cc.
0.8cc of very likely tumour (5/5) is seen in the R anterolateral peripheral zone at mid gland level. Inferiorly it is at least 6mm short of the sphincter. There is capsular abutment of 1.5cm and there are prominent pericapsular vessels here, but no clear bulge or extracapsular extension. Microscopic breach is considered moderately likely (3/5) given the abutment, but the likelihood partly depends on the grade of tumour.
Much more subtle T2 change and only mild early enhancement in the left peripheral zone at mid gland level and on the right at the apex (up to sphincter) is probably not significant tumour, but should be sampled and scores 3/5.
No evidence of tumour in the transition zone. No seminal vesicle disease and no significant pelvic lymphadenopathy (the largest external iliac node on the right measures 6mm and is ovoid). CONCLUSION: 0.8cc of tumour on the right. Capsular abutment but no clear extracapsular extension seen. Much more subtle change on the left and at the right apex which should be sampled but is much less suspicious.
