Objective: To estimate the incidence of hyperechoic, hypoechoic, isoechoic, prostatic cancer inTRUS (transrectal ultrasound guided) guided prostatic specimens. Materials and Methods: Fourhundred and ninety three patients with raised serum prostatic specific antigen (PSA) andabnormal DRE findings were subjected to TRUS‑Guided prostate biopsy. Lateralized sextantbiopsy plus prostatic cores from suspicious areas were obtained. Results: Out of 493 patientswho were enrolled in the study, 65 (13.18) patients showed hyperechoic lesions on TRUS and211 (42.79) patients had hypoechoic lesions on TRUS. Conclusion: Our study has revealedthat hyperechoic lesions on transrectal ultrasonography have more chances of prostaticcancer as reported in previous literature, so we suggest that we should take additional biopsyof hyperechoic lesions and perhaps it should be part of the standard protocol in patientssuspected cancer prostate.
