Transrectal prostatic ultrasound peripheral hypoechoid lesions: a progress report.

From July 1, 1989 to June 30, 1990, 432 cases of transrectal prostatic ultrasound were done at San Pablo Hospital. Low density lesions were found in 85 patients in the peripheral zone. Twenty of these 85 cases proved to be malignant for an incidence of 23%. Our experience from January 1, 1988 to June 1989 was published previously. At that time, of a total of 486 cases, 72 patients showed low density lesion in the peripheral zone. Thirty-seven of these proved malignant for an incidence of 51.4%. To our original publication we are adding our recent 85 cases with 20 malignant lesions for a total of 157 cases of low density lesions and a total of 57 malignant lesions. We now have an average incidence of 36.3% malignancies in low density peripheral lesions.

Transrectal prostatic ultrasound: lesions diagnosed.

From January 1, 1988 to June 30 1989, 486 cases of transrectal prostatic ultrasound were done at San Pablo Hospital. These patients had been referred by the urologist and attending physician due to abnormal digital prostatic examination such as a palpable nodule, an enlarged prostate or prostatic induration. The lesions that have been diagnosed by transrectal prostatic ultrasound include cancer, prostatitis, benign prostatic hypertrophy, cyst, abscess, hematomas and calcifications. From the total of 486 cases studied, 72 patients showed low density lesions in the peripheral zone. Thirty-seven of these 72 cases proved to be malignant for an average of 51.4%. Transrectal prostatic sonography can be easily performed in 10 to 15 minutes. The prostate lesions mentioned above can easily be diagnosed using a short focus 7 MHz transrectal transducer. Prostatitis and early carcinoma present a similar appearance on ultrasound that can be differentiated by transrectal needle biopsy of the prostate which can be sonographically guided with ease using the same equipment on an outpatient setting.
