In urologic pathology, atypical small acinar proliferation, abbreviated ASAP, is a collection of small prostatic glands (on prostate biopsy) whose significance is uncertain and cannot be placed in the benign or malignant.
On a subsequent biopsy, given the diagnosis of ASAP, the chance of finding prostate adenocarcinoma is approximately 40%; this is higher than if there is high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN).[1]
