The prostate disease is a health problem nowadays due to its high morbidity and mortality in adults older than 50 years. Based on this, a descriptive and cross sectional study was carried out on the histopathologic findings of the prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia in the useful prostate biopsies examined in the Pathology Department of "Dr. Ambrosio Grillo Portuondo" Clinical Surgical Teaching Hospital in Santiago de Cuba during the biennium 2008-2009. Among the main results there were: the confirmation of prostate fibroadenomatous hyperplasia, prostatic lesions, carcinomas and other alterations in that male gland, all through biopsy. The obtained data confirmed that the diagnosis through samples from the prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia tissue, constitutes one of the ways by which pathologists can contribute to the opportune detection of the prostatic carcinoma.

Palabras clave : prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia; prostatic carcinoma; biopsy; early diagnosis; pathology.
