Abstract
Introduction

Proliferative inflammatory atrophy (PIA) is a frequently observed lesion in prostate biopsies and some authors have postulated its involvement in prostate carcinogenesis. However, the mechanisms that would permit its neoplastic transformation and the clinical significance of its finding in a prostate biopsy are currently not well known.

Objective

To analyze the characteristics of the PIA lesion, its possible role in prostate carcinogenesis and its relation with the tumor aggressiveness.

Materials and method

A systematic review was made of the literature in PubMed with the terms «proliferative inflammatory atrophy» or «PIA» and «prostate.» The most important findings are summarized in accordance with the study objective.

Results

PIA seems to be involved in prostate carcinogenesis. This hypothesis is based on its frequent association to cancer lesions (CaP) and on some genetic alterations that are common to the high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) and to the CaP, fundamentally deficit in GSTP1 expression and overexpression of AGR2. Currently, there are no epidemiological studies that evaluate the incidence of PIA or its association with HGPIN and CaP. Only one study, carried out by our group, has determined the global incidence of PIA in 30% of the prostate biopsies, a lower association to CaP than the HGPIN lesion and an association between PIA and tumors of lower and insignificant grade.

Conclusions

PIA shares genetic alterations with HGPIN and CaP. Currently, there is no epidemiologic evidence to consider that the PIA is associated to a greater incidence of CaP and the genetic and epidemiological data available suggest its association to not very aggressive tumors.

Resumen
Introducción

La atrofia proliferativa inflamatoria (PIA) es una lesión frecuentemente observada en biopsias prostáticas, y algunos autores han postulado su implicación en la carcinogénesis prostática. Sin embargo, en la actualidad no se conocen bien los mecanismos que permitirían su transformación neoplásica ni el significado clínico de su hallazgo en una biopsia prostática.

Objetivo

Analizar las características de la lesión de PIA, su posible papel en la carcinogénesis prostática y su relación con la agresividad tumoral.

Material y método

Se realiza una revisión sistemática de la literatura en PubMed con los términos proliferative inflammatory atrophy o PIA y prostate. Se resumen los hallazgos más relevantes de acuerdo a los objetivos del estudio.

Resultados

La PIA parece estar implicada en la carcinogénesis prostática. Esta hipótesis se sustenta en su asociación frecuente con lesiones de cáncer (CaP) y en algunas alteraciones genéticas que le son comunes a la neoplasia intraepitelial de alto grado (HGPIN) y al CaP, fundamentalmente déficit en la expresión de GSTP1 y sobreexpresión de AGR2. Actualmente no existen estudios epidemiológicos que evalúen la incidencia de PIA ni su asociación con HGPIN y CaP. Un solo estudio, realizado por nuestro grupo, ha determinado la incidencia global de PIA en el 30% de las biopsias prostáticas, una menor asociación a CaP que la lesión de HGPIN y una asociación entre PIA y tumores de menor grado e insignificantes.

Conclusiones

La PIA comparte alteraciones genéticas con el HGPIN y el CaP. Actualmente no existe evidencia epidemiológica para considerar que la PIA se asocia a mayor incidencia de CaP y los datos genéticos y epidemiológicos disponibles sugieren asociación con tumores poco agresivos.
