title: [Prostatic cancer: pathological analysis of autopsied cases].
abstract: In 27 cases of prostatic cancer, the histopathologic prostatic picture at the time of autopsy was compared with that in biopsy and that of metastatic lesions at autopsy. A change in the grade between in biopsy and in autopsy was confirmed in 4 cases (14.8%). A change in the grade between the prostate and metastatic lesion at the time of autopsy was confirmed in 3 cases (11.1%). The cases that had a change in the grade, had a common tendency: being older, having a longer clinical course than the no grade-change group, changing to a higher grade.
