Calcification in the prostate can vary in size: Large calcifications are often benign lesions within the prostate gland, such as aging of the internal prostate artery, old lesions, and inflammation, and generally do not require further biopsy. Small calcifications are usually located in the areas where cells grow and divide faster.
