“…Patients with mycobacterial GP are mostly asymptomatic, with elevated PSA levels and indurated prostate at digital rectal examination, but because of its relative rarity, the MRI characteristics of infective GP caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis or after intravesical BCG instillations have not been described extensively and only a few cases have been reported ( 1 , 2 ). GP is found in approximately 75% of patients after intravesical administration of BCG for superficial bladder cancer ( 3 ).…”

Background Prostate adenocarcinoma has well known benign mimickers. Histiocytic proliferations usually impose differential diagnosis with high-grade component of acinar adenocarcinoma (Gleason pattern 5). Case presentation We present herein three cases of histiocytic lesions of the prostate in which accurate recognition avoided inappropriate upgrading (malakoplakia associated with prostate adenocarcinoma, two cases) and false positive diagnosis at biopsy (xanthoma with signet ring morphology). Conclusion In needle biopsies, pathologists should have a low threshold to perform immunostains when considering a differential diagnosis between high-grade carcinoma and a histiocytic lesion. In prostatectomy specimens, abrupt transition to solid areas in low and intermediate grade tumors should raise concern to exclude malakoplakia. PAS and von Kossa stains are inexpensive and a valuable tool to highlight typical Michaelis–Gutmann bodies.

Introduction:The diagnosis of suppurrative prostatitis is rare affecting men mostly in their 5 th or 6 th decades. Suppurative prostatitis can co-exist with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) making diagnosis and treatment much more challenging. Observation:We report a case of a 75 years old man that presented initially with lower urinary tract symptoms, was placed on alpha adrenergic blockers and lost to follow up for 4 years before presenting with acute urinary retention. He subsequently had open prostatectomy with a histological diagnosis of suppurrative prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Conclusion:Suppurrative prostatitis should be considered in elderly patients presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms especially when there are risk factors for its occurrence.

Incidentally detected tuberculous prostatitis with microabscess

Abstract: Tuberculous prostatitis is a rare and often overlooked entity that may mimic prostatic adenocarcinoma on imaging exams, especially multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the prostate. Detection of a prostatic abscess is a clue to the correct diagnosis.
