Figure 4.
(A) An example of a pT2 case. The tumor showed definite protrusion beyond the prostate proper at the level of thick vasculature. However, fat pads were not apparently involved. In this case, we suggest a T2 classification. Although such cases are often encountered, they should not be dealt with as T3 cases. (B) The presence of tumor cells in anterior muscle bundles without neurovascular bundles causes controversy in the evaluation of EPE. Most accepted guidelines define EPEs as extending beyond the contour of the proper tissue. (C) EPE showed extensively broad-based sessile extensions of tumor beyond the capsule and fat pad.
