This is a higher-power photomicrograph of the cortical region. In this region there is ischemic obsolescence of glomeruli and one glomerulus with nodular glomerulosclerosis (1). Also note the thickened walls of the blood vessels (2).
Nodular hyperplasia of the prostate--characterized by large discrete prostatic nodules--is a common disorder in men over 50 years of age. The nodules cause the prostate to be enlarged and to have an increased weight. The human prostate is surrounded by a restrictive capsule. These nodules cause increased pressure within the capsule which leads to constriction of the urethra as it passes through the prostate. Urethral constriction leads to retention of urine.
