title: Eosinophilic prostatitis simulating invasive prostatic carcinoma: CT appearance.
abstract: We report the first description of the computed tomographic findings in a patient with eosinophilic prostatitis, a rare inflammatory disorder of the prostate. The appearances were indistinguishable from advanced invasive prostatic cancer but showed almost complete resolution following corticosteroid therapy.
