Abstract
Immunohistochemical detection of basal cells is widely used to help in the diagnosis or exclusion of prostatic carcinoma in a diagnostically challenging cases. The objective of this study was at evaluating the role and comparing the sensitivity and specificity of HMWCK and p63 in prostatic lesions. This was a retrospective study carried out in our institution on 150 lesions. It was found that p63 is more sensitive than HMWCK in identifying the basal cells in diagnostically challenging cases.
