title: [Granulomatous prostatitis].
abstract: Granulomatous prostatitis is a rare chronic inflammation and its etiology is not well understood. There is difficulty in differential diagnosis with prostatic cancer. But RMN and ultrasound guided biopsy can confirm the diagnosis. The authors report 15 cases and discuss etiological, clinical and diagnostic aspects.
