Working standards in prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia and atypical adenomatous hyperplasia

Pathol Res Pract. 1995 Sep;191(9):836-7. doi: 10.1016/S0344-0338(11)80964-7.

Abstract

All participants agreed with the use of the terms low and high grade PIN, without treatment in the case of an isolated PIN lesion. The term, definitions and biology of atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) was discussed without reaching a consent among American and European participants. As a compromise, the designation of AAH-Adenosis was accepted as a working formulation that needs further research.
