Abstrak

Xanthogranulomatous prostatitis (XGP) is a rare disease that can mimic the clinical and imaging findings of prostate cancer. Differentiation of these diseases is vital in order to offer the correct treatment. Histological examination of prostate tissue is the definitive manner in which XGP is distinguished from prostate cancer. This case demonstrates the rare possibility of concurrent findings of prostate abscess, prostate cancer, and XGP, further clouding diagnostic assessment. Percutaneous aspiration and antibiotic treatment of the abscess reduced lower urinary tract symptoms and eliminated XGP on subsequent prostate biopsy. Careful work up is necessary to prevent unnecessary interventions or missed diagnoses.
