We attempted to use the Gleason grading scheme on fine‐needle aspiration (FNA) of the prostate by examining 31 prostate aspirates that had concomitant surgical pathology tissue for correlation. A set of criteria is delineated in which it is proposed that Gleason grading is possible on FNA of the prostate by evaluating aspirated tissue fragments. Cell cytology, including qualitative nucleolar appearance, is not significantly helpful in this approach.
