title: Tuberculosis and adenocarcinoma of prostate gland.
abstract: The coexistence of tuberculosis and various malignancies is common. Although adenocarcinoma of the prostate and genitourinary tuberculosis are seen frequently, their concomitance is extremely rare. The clinical and pathologic features in a seventy-seven-year-old man with these coincident lesions are discussed. The rarity of this concurrence is analyzed, and the factors and theories explaining its dissociation are postulated.
