title: [Isolated prostate tuberculosis. Report of a case in Madagascar].
abstract: Isolated prostate tuberculosis is uncommon. Authors report herein the case of 64-year-old man who presented obstructive syndrome of low urinary tract. After clinical and biological examination, and imagery, prostate cancer was highly suspected. Transrectal biopsy was performed and histological examination showed tuberculosis lesions. We suggest that prostate tuberculosis should be evoked in old patient presenting similar signs and living in tuberculosis endemic zone.
