Objectives: There are 2 grading approaches to radical prostatectomy (RP) in multifocal cancer: Grade Group (GG) and percentage of Gleason pattern 4 (GP4%). We investigated whether RP GG and GP4% generated by global vs individual tumor grading correlate differently with biochemical recurrence.
Methods: We reviewed 531 RP specimens with GG2 or GG3 cancer.

This case demonstrates the potential for malignant transformation in accessory breast tissue and highlights the importance of close surveillance and regular physical examinations in patients with a history of ectopic breast malignancy.
