Revisiting the central gland anatomy via MRI: does the central gland extend below the level of verumontanum?
Contrary to McNeal's classical prostatic anatomy teaching, the central gland extends below the verumontanum in 95% of men over 43, likely due to deformation of the gland by benign prostatic hyperplasia. It is important for pathologists to be aware of this observation for accurate characterization of the zonal origin of prostate cancer below the level of the verumontanum.
The risk to the limb is underestimated in PAD patients, whereas the CV related morbidity is more moderate than stated in the guidelines. The latter observation is especially valid for IC patients. These findings should be considered when evaluating patients for treatment.
