The central zone, the base of which is at the bladder neck and the vertex toward the urethra, surrounding part of the proximal urethra; it is crossed by the ejaculatory ducts. The acini are large with irregular contours, and branching is very elaborate, with a homogeneous texture.

The transition zone is located around the proximal urethra and has small, simple, round glands with a stroma similar to that in the central zone, with a low stroma/glandular index (Fig. 3.1).

The peripheral zone constitutes the mid and the apex of the prostate and is therefore the area most accessible for digital rectal examination. The acini are either small and round or triangular, and the muscle bundles are multidirectional and loose (Fig. 3.2).
