[Granulomatous prostatitis. An infrequent diagnosis. Review of our series].
Granulomatous prostatitis is an inflammatory condition of the prostate which presents rarely in the urological practice. It is caused by several specific and unspecific infectious agents, and can also be secondary to prostate surgery or a local reflection of a systemic granulomatous disease. With regard to clinical manifestations and treatment, it is an unspecific entity which has a characteristic histopathology. Its major interest consists on the possibility of it being mistaken for a prostate cancer during physical examination. This paper reviews a series of 7 granulomatous prostatitis, with special emphasis on their histology and ultrasound findings.
