title: Computed tomography of prostatic abscess.
abstract: Although the CT appearance of prostatitis and prostatic carcinoma have been described, there are no reports of the CT diagnosis of prostatic abscess, an unusual complication of prostatic infection. The appearance of low attenuating, round, well demarcated regions within one or more lobes of the prostate gland by CT is suggestive of prostatic abscess.
