The increase in the rate of prostate cancer detection has induced a sharp increase in the number of radical prostatectomies (RPs)[1–6]. The proper examination of RP specimens by the pathologists is critical in accurately determining the prediction of patient outcome. The pathology report should include relevant clinical information (Table 1)[7] as well as provide prognostically useful data derived from the evaluation of the RP specimen (Table 2)[4, 7–9](see [4] also for the classification of the prognostic factors according the College of American Pathologists). In this article, we review the pathology reporting of RP specimens and pelvic lymph nodes.
