Hello,
Some more information:
High grade PIN with adjacent small atypical glands (PINATYP)

May be difficult to determine if small glands represent budding / tangentially sectioned glands from high-grade PIN or invasive cancer next to high grade PIN; no reliable differentiating features

Risk of cancer on repeat biopsy was 46%, higher than high grade PIN alone, indicating patients should be rebiopsied.
