Another doubt about a prostate biopsy (I'm not too familiar with the ins and outs of histology):

"Se observa afectación submasiva y multifocal en más del 70 % de la muestra, con presencia de glándulas irregulares, separadas por variable proporción de estroma fibroso, así como zonas de fusión glandular ***con placas*** que muestran microluces."

Plates (or even slides) or plaques??

Thanks David, although the reference doesn't seem to relevant to my case, so I still have reservations....

Reference information:
Gleason 4
Gleason pattern 4 glands are no longer single/separated glands like those seen in pattern 1-3. They look fused together, difficult to distinguish, with rare lumen formation vs Gleason 1-3 which usually all have open lumens (spaces) within the glands, or they can be cribriform-(resembling the cribriform plate/similar to a sieve. An item with many perforations). Fused glands are chains, nests, or groups of glands that are no longer entirely separated by stroma-(connective tissue that normally separates individual glands in this case). Fused glands contain occasional stroma giving the appearance of "partial" separation of the glands. Due to this partial separation, fused glands sometimes have a scalloped (think looking at a slice of bread with bite taken out of it) appearance at their edges.[2][5]

Gleason 5
Neoplasms have no glandular differentiation (thus not resembling normal prostate tissue at all). It is composed of sheets (groups of cells almost planar in appearance (like the top of a box), solid cords (group of cells in a rope like fashion running through other tissue/cell patterns seen), or individual cells. You should not see round glands with lumenal spaces that can be seen in the other types that resemble more the normal prostate gland appearance.
