Fourteen cases (12%) showed weak AMACR immunoreactivity in 1\u20139% of lesional cells. Sixteen cases (13%) showed strong immunopositivity for AMACR in &gt;50% of lesional cells. AMACR expression in AAH was significantly higher in cases in which coexisting PCA was present, compared with its expression in AAH foci without coexisting PCA (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.03). Strong diffuse AMACR positivity in over 50% of lesional cells was seen almost exclusively in AAH foci with coexisting PCA (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.002). AMACR expression in AAH showed no correlation with patient age (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.38), specimen type (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.35), prostate weight (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.80), zonal location (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.50), distance to cancer (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.28), Gleason score (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.06), or pathologic stage (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.23). Increased AMACR expression showed a negative correlation with the size of AAH foci (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.03). All AAH lesions showed fragmented basal cell layers, highlighted by p63 and high molecular weight cytokeratin staining.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p>A significant percentage of AAH cases show stronger and more extensive AMACR expression when associated with prostatic adenocarcinoma, as compared to AAH foci found without coexisting prostate cancer.
