Slide 4: Micrograph showing a moderately differentiated prostate cancer (Gleason 3) on the right, and less normal tissue on the left that is highly undifferentiated (Gleason 4) showing prostate cancer.
Slide 5: Prostate cancer patient with hypercalcemia and diffuse osteoblastic bone metastases. Image shows changes to spine, pelvic, and femoral bones (arrows). Copyright 2011 © Armin Kübelbeck.
Slide 6: Extensive osteoblastic metastasis of the skull in a patient with prostate cancer. This image shows the extent of metastatic tissue over the bone borders and provides a contrast enhancement of the meninges as a sign of infiltration. Copyright 2011 © Hellerhoff.
Slide 7: Micrograph of prostate adenocarcinoma with perineural invasion, conventional (acinar) type, which is the most common form of prostate cancer. Copyright 2010 © Nephron.

Slide 10: Case of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate: CT scan (left) shows bilateral nodules of metastatic disease. Micrograph images (right) show acinar and papillary growth patterns with pools of basophilic mucin (top) and positive coarsely granular cytoplasmic staining of the tumor cells (bottom).
