The localization of prostatic carcinoma was studied in a consecutive autopsy series of 340 men aged 40 years or more. Only the clinically unsuspected (latent) carcinomas were considered, because these are usually small. A new subdivision of the prostate was used: the length of the gland being divided into an infracollicular, collicular, and a supracollicular part, and the transverse section being divided into four quadrants and three concentric zones.The topographical division of the prostate used in this study does not support the opinion held previously, that carcinoma has any site of predilection in the prostate gland. The distribution of carcinomatous foci within the organ seems to parallel the amount of glandular tissue in the various areas.
