Prostate is anatomically divided into 5 lobes – Anterior, Median, Posterior and two lateral lobes. Histologically, it is divided into 3 lobes

Peripheral zone (PZ)  :

Composes up to 70% of the normal prostate gland in young men. It is from this portion of the gland that more than 70% of prostatic cancers originate.

Central zone (CZ) :

Constitutes approximately 25% of the normal prostate gland. The central zone accounts for roughly 2.5% of prostate cancers although these cancers tend to be more aggressive.

Transition zone (TZ):

Responsible for 5% of the prostate volume at puberty. The transition zone surrounds the proximal urethra and is the region of the prostate gland which grows throughout life and is responsible for the disease of benign prostatic enlargement (BPH).
