Case Report: Prostatitis tuberculosis mimicking prostate cancer

Abstract

A 56-year-old male who presented with recurrent gross hematuria and moderate lower urinary tract symptoms. After taking the patient’s medical history and performing a physical exam, suspicion of prostate cancer arose with prostate enlargement during rectal examination without tenderness and palpable nodes. Ultrasound showed estimated prostate volume of 95 gr and prostate specific antigen of 5.5. Transurethral resection of the prostate was performed and prostate tissue was checked by a pathologist, with histopathological examination showing active tuberculosis lesions. An interferon gamma release assay test was performed, which showed a positive result. The patient was diagnosed with prostatitis tuberculosis and treated with standard nine-month regimen for extra-pulmonary tuberculosis. Prostate enlargement due to tuberculosis is rare and its presence may mimic prostate cancer presentation; however, due to its rarity, careful examination is needed in order to provide optimal management.

Identifikasi Penalaran Kreatif-Imitatif Siswa dengan Gaya Kognitif Reflektif

“…Penentuan subjek dalam penelitian ini merupakan siswa SMA/MA sederajat yang dipilih berdasarkan beberapa kriteria khusus yakni; memiliki kemampuan matematika setara, memiliki kemampuan berkomunikasi yang baik, serta terkategori dalam gaya kognitif reflektif. Pengkategorian gaya kognitif ini dilakukan dengan memberikan tes Matching Familiar Figure Test (MFFT) yang dibuat oleh Kagan dan kemudian dikembangkan oleh Warli, (2010). MFFT ini menitikberatkan pada visualisasi, di mana subjek diminta untuk menentukan salah satu gambar alternatif yang hampir sama dengan gambar standar utama yang disediakan.…”
