In normal young men, the normal inner gland of the prostate has generally low echogenicity compared with the outer gland .As the transition zone enlarges a distinct demarcation between these regions become clear. The transition zone produces a hypoechoic images compared with the generally isoechoic peripheral zone. Hyperechoic structures are most common characteristic of fat, corpora amylacea or calculi.

Calcific foci in prostate are associated with normal aging process in the male and may be the result of formation of corpora amylacea. These are formed by calcification of secretions of the gland.

observed in the peripheral zone.
Systematic 6-core biopsy revealed
adenocarcinoma from both lobes of the
prostate (ie, this is an isoechoic tumor in
the peripheral zone of both prostatic
lobes).

On frontal (or transversal)
Scans, a hypoechoic mass is
identified in the posterolateral
aspect of the left peripheral
zone.. Note, also, the invasion
of the capsule.
