Xanthogranulomatous prostatitis: multiparametric MRI appearances.
Granulomatous prostatitis is an unusual form of prostatitis, and xanthogranulomatous prostatitis (XGP) is an even rarer granulomatous inflammation. Very few XGP cases have been reported in the literature. The reports concerning MRI features of XGP are even less. The present two cases of XGP in our report have different appearances from previous reports and are accompanied by abscess. We also exhibit the magnetic resonance spectroscopy and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI characteristics, which have never been reported.
